If that's really inelastic, then your concern won't matter much.<br /><br />Or how about the Dave Tuftehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14877686358267438045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-8971276573555275222013-11-11T15:51:15.842-07:002013-11-11T15:51:15.842-07:00It is interesting to consider the implications of ...It is interesting to consider the implications of international expansion, especially of the effects of increased travel. For example, an NBA team may play 3-4 games a week, and in the MLB, a team may play 5-6 games a week. Approximately half of these games are played on the road. To expand across the Atlantic would likely mean significantly more time traveling, which would decrease the amountBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12446926392365994328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-11933809422162798652013-10-21T11:19:11.539-06:002013-10-21T11:19:11.539-06:00BOHICA: 50/50

The logo jerseys are a complement to the sport (as a whole) and the game (in particular). And, they may even be bundled into a package deal.Dave Tuftehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14877686358267438045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-90542312089527517982013-10-16T19:06:29.147-06:002013-10-16T19:06:29.147-06:00I watched the game that was recently played in Lon...I watched the game that was recently played in London this month and was very surprised at how many people were at the game and the level of enjoyment that I saw from the fans. One thing that I noticed was the variety of different NFL teams that were represented by fans wearing jerseys and other team related clothing. It makes me wonder how many of the fans are American?

Soccer is the most popular sport worldwide, but in the U.S. it might rank as low as #4 or #5 on the scale of interest and involvement. It would be safe to say that football is the #1 sport in America, yet it might only be the 4th or 5th rated sport in other countries.<br /><brBOHICAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803550013186966059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-87235282667036094822013-10-14T22:26:42.056-06:002013-10-14T22:26:42.056-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.BOHICAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803550013186966059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-23826793011199341892013-10-02T12:30:52.418-06:002013-10-02T12:30:52.418-06:00Mazer: 100/100

Very interesting. On top of that, I guess it has never really occurred to me that they really don't play American Football anywhere else in the world besides North America (I know Canada has some leagues). <br /><br />While nickwbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517822063163985361noreply@blogger.com
