Report
In the light of the announcement of 13 July 2020, that the Washington Redskins are to retire their Nickname and Logo, Eirball takes a break from the past to have a brief look at what the future holds. what will the Washington team be called? Where does the NFL go after this? What about expansion around the World?
Eirball is guessing that Washington Presidents will be the new team name, and that by the early 2030 eight teams will have moved to Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan. Given that the Redskins have been forced to change their name Eirball is guessing that The Kansas City Chiefs will have to too.
Eirball is also guessing that with the NFL leaving out most of Asia, Africa and South America, that a proper World Football League with teams in those continents as well as North America will start up as a Major League Rival to the NFL, and will merge with the XFL (Xtreme Football League) which has resurrected all the NFL teams which have been lost, including the Chiefs and Redskins, controversial as the XFL always is.
