Last Friday, a day before the NFL Draft, commissioner Roger Goodell denied reports that the league was considering hosting a future Super Bowl in London. In fact, he stated unequivocally that the NFL "has never looked at London or Mexico City" as potential Super Bowl destinations, adding that "There is not an international city ... Maybe New Orleans is considered an international city." Today rumors surfaced again, this time courtesy of The Guardian. The paper contends that "Talks have been ongoing with the NFL, who have identified London as the outstanding candidate city to host the event outside of the United States," which is vague enough to insinuate that the league is actively seeking to move the Super Bowl overseas while leaving plenty of room for misinterpretation.
