this has nothing whatsoever to do with doing Roger Goodell a favor.

What he wants shouldn't matter in this instance. Should be left up to his players. Those whole trips are a traveling circus. It's not like you fly over on Friday and play Sunday.
Hey Slap you are acting like you are new here. Everyone knows that Crash's opinion is the only one that matters here (well in his mind anyway) and if you disagree with him (about anything really) then you are just one of the uneducated idiot Yinzers.

Crash is actually missing the point in a number of ways. The Steelers are nothing without the NFL. That is a fact. Helping the NFL will ultimately benefit the Steelers. The Rooneys are not going to do something to spite the NFL - why would they? It's the old cut off your nose to spite your face.
Moreover, Hawaiian, you are absolutely right that Dan Rooney would be proud to have his team play in Ireland. If the players don't like it -- tough. That is the way the world works. If my employer needs me to do something, I do it, whether I like it or not. For most people who have a boss and value their employment, it is pretty much the same.
Why do we NEED to play in Ireland? Is the NFL going to expand there? No.
How does this HELP the NFL? Is the NFL in danger of going under if they don't play there? No.
This game isn't needed at all. All it does, is disrupt your own teams preparation for a game.
The players can cash their checks and be happy...
They cash their same checks playing 8 regular season road games on US soil.
If that's the only argument you have? You got nothing. Again, that's the talk of a shill.
If you say so...
It's sweet that you feel sorry for the professional football players because they might have to play a game in Ireland because their boss wants them too...
Heck, a few years ago, you would have said, "If they don't like playing in Ireland? Cut them!"
Even Crash can change...
And if they go there and get blasted? You'll be the first guy on this board blaming it on the travel.
It's pointless. It's not needed.
Okay, let's make a bet:
If the Steelers play in Europe and get blasted, I bet that I will not be the first one on the board blaming it on the travel...
If I am, I'll leave the board forever...
If I'm not, you leave the board forever...
Do we have a deal?
