    As if the continued playing of games in the UK and Mexico wasn't enough, it now seems likely that the Rams will "host" a game in China in 2018, likely their "home opener". The 49ers are thought to be the leading choice as an opponent. With both teams in California that makes some sense, however its not an exact comparrison to an east coast team playing in London. The time difference between Beijing and LA is 15 hours (so 18 hours for the East Coast US), and flight there is nearly as long. The logistics are going to mess both teams up.

    Calling it now: NFL in Qatar by 2020. North Korea by 2025.

    I'm not saying this to be snarky.

    Why not in Japan?

    It has to be some sort of business decesion. Perhaps the league thinks theres more money to be had in China?

    I guess.

    I'm just saying, American Football is extremely popular in Japan.
