NFL conspiracy theory (maybe?)

So I heard earlier in the season that the NFL is looking at expanding to Europe and maybe Mexico. From what I understand, there would be permanent teams there. I don't know this for a fact! But, I'm really starting to wonder if the panthers are tanking on purpose to get relocated, or are they really just that bad? The owner hasn't made many friends around spartanburg lately, and the business decisions being made since he took over haven't really been beneficial. What's the future looking like for the panthers, and does anyone know if the rumors about international expansion are true?

but Tepper acts like he's trying to get ridden out of the Carolinas on a rail.
He gave Rock Hill a royal you know what job before he turned his attention to Spartanburg. Probably just practice for what he plans to do to Charlotte.

International expansion may be what the NFL would like, but I don't know how foreigners are going to get excited about watching a bunch of AMERICANS playing football and not futbol. Baseball would be better accepted, especially in Mexico and japan.

Yeah football is very popular in Mexico. My brother in law was a huge star there and he got to tryout for the Dallas cowboys. There’s about 3-4 Mexican players on NFL practice squads I think. Mexico also now has the world’s 14th largest economy. The country has really
Progressed a lot. We live in a real house in a large city in Mexico month or two each year. Def not what you see on the news all the time.

They would have a difficult time signing draft picks and free agents. A franchise outside of the US & possibly Canada would have to be propped up by the rest of the league kind like the NBA does the annual money loser WNBA. Maybe the Mexican cartels would purchase thd PSLs–
-Tepper has set the Panther franchise back 5 years minimum by trading up for a bust QB, giving away their best WR in years and the #1 overall pick in the upcoming draft. That's not even taking into account they could have had CJS w/o moving up.they He is the wealthiest NFL owner but the cap negates that being an advantage of any significance-

There are many other extremely wealthy people in Mexico aside from the Cartels. Mexico is the worlds 14th largest economy now.

There is only one explanation for this and its money.

Unfortunately, money is not what made football great. The NFL will eventually regret the decision if they do this.
