Let's Just Move Stuff Around ...

The city of London has announced that they will make a bid to host the Super Bowl. Seriously? The Super Bowl? That's freaking whack. Look, I tolerate the NFL playing one regular season game at Wembly Stadium each year. Although I do think it's a bad idea. If you want to market the NFL outside of the U.S. play games in Montreal or Mexico City. It would seem that other North American cities would be more logical places for those regular season games. But, there's no way I could see how playing the Super Bowl outside of the U.S. would be anything other than total suck.

But, I admit that this does open up some other possibilities. We could ...

Play the NCAA Final Four in Moscow.

Run the Kentucky Derby in Paris.

Move the Tour de France to Brazil.

Play the Champions League finals in Vancouver.

Move Euro 2012 to China.

Play the CFL Championship Game in Cape Town, South Africa.

They could play the Australian Open in Panama City, The French Open in Cairo, Wembledon in Athens and the U.S. Open in Lisbon.

Hell, the U.S. Open golf tournament could also be played in Lisbon. Wait, why does Lisbon get TWO big events. Fuck Lisbon. It will be played in Amsterdam.

The Hong Kong Rugby Sevens will be moved to Butte, Montana. They'll still be televised though on ESPN 8 "The Ocho."

The Monaco Grand Prix will now be run in Little Rock. I only say that cause I would like to go and hang out with the Euro Babes.

The British Open can be played in Bhutan. I'm sure they'd appreciate a nice little golf tournament to provide some revenue there.

We could even do the same type of things within the U.S. The Arkansas state high school basketball tournament could be played in Idaho. Then Idaho's will be played in West Virginia. Florida's will be played in Wisconsin and Wisconsin's will be played in South Carolina. And so on.


Hell, now that I think about it, why limit this type of thing to just sporting events?

Let’s move the Lincoln Memorial to Barcelona.

And the St. Louis Arch to Dubai.

And the CN Tower to Monaco.

And the Statue of Liberty to Myanmar. Cause it seems like such a welcoming place.

Maybe the Taj Mahal can be moved to San Antonio and The Alamo to Bangkok.

London Bridge will be moved to Arizona. Oh wait. That already happened.

The London Tower goes to Santiago, Chile.

The Arc de Triomphe can be moved to Seoul.

And of course, we’ll move Christ the Redeemer statue to Tehran. … What?


So, as you can see this Super Bowl in London idea is just brilliant. And it could lead to all kinds of fun times.
