NFL returns to London for Colts vs. Commanders—Where to watch
This story raises questions about governance, accountability, and American values.
The NFL is playing a football game in London this morning, and somewhere in Indianapolis a Colts season-ticket holder is deciding if 9:30 AM is too early for a beer. It is, but we digress. The league will trot out the usual press release about global growth and new audiences, but let's call this what it is: **a money grab that treats the American fan like an afterthought**.
