That is an interesting post and one of the longest ones I've ever seen on here.
Whatever way they decided to do it, it would have to be sort of experimental and it would involve huge amounts of financial risk. Obviously it could put teams in cities that lost them, like St. Louis and San Diego, and also it could be profitable to have teams in London or Mexico City. Two places where a major pro team might work are Oklahoma and Alabama, which both have huge football traditions and big cities in them. Or Omaha?
They also have articles sometimes about how there might be drastic changes in football anyway because of all the injuries. Would people watch pro football if they made it down-by-contact or some variation of flag football? Maybe, if they did away with replay and allowed one-foot-in on sideline catches to increase scoring.
