Title: *"Logistics of NFL"* Content: *10% NFL, 90% airplane* *BECAUSE WENDOVER*

@derpmcgerp8062 5 лет назад

@jackodees1765 5 лет назад

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.

@crucisnh 5 лет назад

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.

@AF-sb3jk 5 лет назад

It's all almost completely wrong. The patriots own their own planes. Most NFL teams actually own their own planes but call it chartering. Basically the owners of the teams all have their own private planes. The Teams just :rent" the planes from the owners and it's called a business expense. He's usually pretty good, but this is fucking all wrong and just so stupid.

@harrywhite9030 5 лет назад

@@tjcassidy2694 they still have drive their cars and a lot of equipment between races. There's plenty of videos explaining the logistics and it makes the NFLs problems look laughable in comparison.

@dragonage200 5 лет назад

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.

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.

@VisibilityFoggy 5 лет назад

I would be in favor of this if the airline that sponsored the team was Spirit and all the players had to climb into their economy section of an A320neo. I've been stuck on their flights to South America with all the "big seats" in front sold out. Walking is a challenge for the first 12 hours after I land.

@giths19 5 лет назад

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.

Otherwise they couldn't care less about the club games which is where the players earn their living. Opposite is true with football/soccer. But if you asked those fans to give up their weekends of watching either of those sports to watch NFL games, travel to the other side of the world to support their team every away game. They will laugh at you. Plus there are too many breaks (american) football which is offputting for the UK audience because we hate ads and we want free-flowing sports. Just because 13m people watched the Superbowl final, doesn't mean they would all support an NFL team based in London.

@krombopulos_michael 5 лет назад

Yeah, it's the NFL puffing up their numbers. I'd imagine 20m is about the number of people who know what the NFL is. Breaking into the UK market seems like a bit of a fool's errand for the NFL. The UK already has pretty much all of its time taken up with football, rugby, and cricket, all of which are home-grown. I think there would be a pretty strong resistance to a widespread embrace of a sport that is so incredibly American as anything more than a novelty. There's already plenty of annoyance at Americans calling it "football" and at the sport for being a much more padded up and slower version of rugby.
