But there are no other countries on Earth where American football is the most popular sport. It’s hard to imagine football becoming more popular in the U.S., where it already dominates the sports and cultural landscape. The NFL is committed to playing games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a decade. (The end zones were very small.) The new stadium has locker rooms big enough to fit 50 guys and an artificial turf football field under its grass soccer pitch, which retracts. When the World League of American Football’s London Monarchs played at Tottenham’s old stadium, White Hart Lane, they had to play on a 93-yard field. The NFL helped fund the new Tottenham stadium, which was specifically designed to host NFL games. The league even struck up a deal with Tottenham Hotspur, the Premier League team your friend roots for because they wanted to pick a club that was reasonably good but didn’t want to pick one that had recently won a championship.
Since 2007, the NFL has exported games to England in an attempt to expand its international audience. (Actually, I watch Love Island too.) But strangest of all? In England, every NFL game is Thursday Night Football.
We watch The Bachelor they watch Love Island. We have trucks and strollers they have lorries and prams.
We drive on the right side of the road they drive on the left. It’s always fun to look at the tiny differences between the United States and England.
