NFL has a mess on its hands in Mexico

Moving the game back to LA seems unfair to me. Yes, I know that it is naturally a home game for LA(and quite frankly, I think it's dumb that teams lose their home games). The thing is though, you actually prep around the venue that the game is taking place. All season long, they've had the game in Mexico on their schedule, and now suddenly they have to deal with a home crowd and home environment against the Rams. This will change the gameplan for both teams and just seems incredibly ****ed up to me.

Mexico City or Los Angeles? Either way it's Mexico.

Thanks for the info. I knew you would chime in eventually.
I don't have a pulse on American Football in Europe, only what I've read - and some of that I read 10-15 years ago.
Figured you would know the most.

As for Mexico, I still think it's a market the NFL is trying to push its way into.

Games should not be played outside the US. If you want international games start pre seasons a week earlier abd play then internationally. I live in About 10 miles from Wembley yet i have not gone to one game there,i don't belive fans that only have 8 home games a season should have to lose these game to the international market
