Another dumb idea courtesy of England!

Courtesy of the English Premier League do we have one of the dumbest ideas ever.  And give credit to one of the more useless football clubs in the world to come up with the idea, that being Tottenham Hotspur.  Don't believe Spurs are useless? Look up Tottenham Hotspur in Urban Dictionary and see for yourself. Although their definition is a little old since ol' 'Arry isn't the manager anymore, you get the point.

With their new stadium nearly built, Spurs want to play a game of football and American football at their ground on the same day. Credit chairman Daniel Levy with this ludicrous idea. Said Levy:  "I don't think it's something we'd want to try our first game, but that is certainly realistic. How exciting the idea of having the two biggest leagues in the world from a television perspective -- fantastic! -- play on the same day."

Unfortunately, it is likely that this stupidity will come to pass. Spurs and the United States' NFL have a 10-year agreement and who knows what else these entities representing everything wrong with professional sport have agreed upon. Maybe next time they can make it a triple-header and throw in a T20 India v. England matchup and really have some fun then with billions of people tuning in!

This will make the amount of London venues used for NFL to three. Previously, only Wembley Stadium had hosted American football but this year, rugby's Twickenham will host a fixture pitting New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams. Although those are two major American markets full of vacuous celebrities and millionaires, neither New York nor Los Angeles are fancied as Super Bowl contenders this year. That level of play should be familiar to Tottenham supporters used to years of not contending who are unfamiliar with the NFL game.

Ed's note: We'll be back later in the week with our first Christian Pulisic post of the new Bundesliga season!
