It is all logistics, and it's quite relevant. They did a similar video on the logistics in F1. In football (the non-american version) it's a way smaller problem, because of national leagues, and most countries, apart from the USA, have their population, and thus most of their teams, located close together.

I think that it was a very interesting video. Logistics is a lot more important than people realize, whether it's in pro sports or the military. (There's some old saying that military amateurs study tactics while professionals study logistics.) It makes a lot of sense that travel issues are a major hassle for NFL teams, given that they play only 1 game a week, while other pro sports teams are playing from 3-4 games a week to sometimes 6-7 games a week. Also, lots of NFL players (i.e. linemen) are significantly larger than most players in other sports. I will say that NBA players can be "large", but their size is more about height than weight and girth. I'd imagine that the major issue for NBA players is leg room. Long term, it'd seem easier for NFL teams to just lease a plane from Boeing or whatever company buys and leases out planes. And then have those planes' interiors custom designed for the needs of NFL sized players, etc. IIRC, some teams in the NBA have done just this, since custom designed planes are a lot more comfortable for NBA sized guys.

TJ Cassidy while there is only one race at a time, F1 happens all over the world, sometimes with back-to-back races, racing at one place one weekend, and then another location, thousands of miles away the next week. So teams actually have multiple sets of basic equipment that they send on a complex dance choreograph all over the world. The more sensitive and upgradable equipments like cars will be sent back to the factory after each race, and then sent back out. Teams pack everything up the Sunday night after the race and have things back at the factory Monday or Tuesday. Then they have to shipped out Wednesday or Thursday for the Friday practice session. And then there are the last minute upgrade packages. Sometimes sent halfway around the world using overnight shipping. Also it doesnt matter if there are a million NFL games in a thousand different locations, each team is responsible for their own shit.

Super Rugby trans-continental format was killed by COVID.

South Africa left too and joined in with European teams to form the United Rugby Championship. Trips are long, but the furthest distance is only around 6,300 miles (Glasgow to Durban).

Thanks for the informative video. It is a small point but I need to note that the number of players on the active roster of an NFL team is not 56. It is 53. Not all of them always travel to away games, though. The game day roster is 46, and the teams regularly leave at home players who need rehab on a minor injury (i.e. injury that does not land them on injured reserve).

Then it would just be perfect.

I so badly hope it doesn’t happen… I think it’s a cool idea on paper to have a team in London, but given no one would want to play there, it would probably be absolutely terrible year Im and year out…. If Canada didn’t have the CFL I’d say Toronto would make a heck of a lot more sense for international expansion. I think Mexico City makes more sense given it is a similar time zone and much closer. I would be very curious as to how the logistics would work for that and how football has been received down there. Great video!

MLB has a Toronto team and used to have another Canadian team (Montreal Expos) and there don't seem to be any issues! Canada makes perfect sense as an expansion, if you can convince them to care about football.

I remember seeing some reality tv show from the UK and someone on the show had a bunch of SF 49ers stuff in his office. I had no idea there was an overseas NFL fan base until then. Wild.

Sam, I'm really becoming worried about this airplane obsession. I think it's time for an intervention.

This has a very simple solution. You build a practice facility in an american city. base the team there for 8 weeks while they play their road games then ship them to London for their block of home games. you could go 4 away + 8 home + 4 away and you've limited it to two transatlantic flights per season, the same amount any team takes to play in London currently.

So it may not be 20% yet just what they believe that they can get into the marketplace. Also I was very surprised by just 57% of Americans. I do not watch football but that is allot more people that do not watch football than I would have ever imagined. I thought like 90% of people watch football here in the United States. I figured that I was about the only person who did not 😂😂😂

NFL should probably invest in Starship from New York to Paris :30 mins.

As mentioned, jet lag is a big factor. I witness this a lot in the Super Rugby league, where the travelling teams fatigue by the 3rd quarter. Another problem for leagues, located between time zones longer than 8 hours, is that the audience watches a lot of the live nights games in the early mornings where they stay.

Me: Aw sweet a non airplane video Wendover: NFL CHARTERS FLIGHTS

There is a similar example of this in a similar sport already. The English Rugby League added the Toronto Wolfpack to that countries' third division. What they did was Toronto would travel to England and stay there for about a month. They would come back and play a month at home with teams coming over from England. After the first two seasons the team was a win away from the first division. English League logistics though is different as there is no draft and salary cap. Many players that made the team were from Canada, United States, and Europe. Also Air Transat (a Canadian Airline) is the main airline that covers all the flying across the pond. I don't know if a British airline or American airline would do that kind of sponsorship. At the end it is very possible, if done right.

@giths19

NFL makes too much money for anyone to give them anything for free. Also with the rugby arrangement you mentioned where Toronto goes away for a month the plane doesn't sit waiting for a full day and can resume service immediately after dropping the team off. Rugby teams carry less equipment which helps with the logistics and may not require a 767 an A321 or a 737 would be enough.

Wendover: "Today: NFL" 1 minute in: "Planes!"

Where do you get so much data about transportation, logistics? It's just brilliant and I always wonder where does he get this detailed information from.

Hawaii also has an NCAA exemption allowing them to play 13 games a year. This allows them to have an extra home game to help pay for the extra travel costs they incur because of their location.

Hawaii also has 85 scholarship players and 70 players on its travel roster rather than the NFL's 53 man rosters. And they manage that amount of travel on a minuscule fraction of an NFL team's budget.
