The NFL is really missing a golden opportunity to grow the sport globally with this attitude. Firstly, it would probably require adding more than one team, so they could create a small league, or conference of its own, playing only a couple of games a year in America, and likewise for American teams playing in Europe. The NFL is missing the bigger…

canadas tax brackets hit at much lower incomes Hardly relevant for athletes making millions the highest providencial tax is 25% The question was originally about Toronto (Ontario).

Not how that works, canadas tax brackets hit at much lower incomes and the highest providencial tax is 25%, capital gains taxes also START at 50% in Canada lol

I think not only would it struggle to pull free agents over just because of the distance from home, but top draft picks would refuse going abroad as well

This is a non-issue. You get tax credits for any foreign taxes paid on your US tax return so you are not double taxed.

Fix the time zones to make it easier for us Europeans to watch it and that’ll do a lot of heavy lifting
