The NFL has officially announced nine international game slate which will be played in seven different countries, including first-time regular-season games in Australia and France. This is the first time that the league has decided to conduct so many games outside of the U.S.
Fans have mixed feelings about the whole thing, some believe that the league is focusing too much on making money and ignoring the fact that their majority of the fans reside in the U.S and missing out on these games could really hurt their sentiments. On the other hand some believe that this is a massive opportunity for the league to promote the sport on an international level.
