NOW PLAYING
New England Patriots owner and billionaire Robert Kraft would reportedly like to see the NFL play a game in Scotland after supporters of the World Cup team spent time in Boston during group stage action for this year’s tournament.
Kraft spoke with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell recently about the possibility, the Boston Globe reported, noting the Patriots owner was instrumental in bringing the World Cup to North America for the first time in more than two decades.
As their team played in Boston during group stage action, the “Tartan Army,” a nickname for supporters of Scotland, made their presence know marching around city streets and packing bars and restaurants.
Social media feeds have been filled for days with excited Europeans taking in U.S. food, customs and culture, in many cases expressing amazement and amusement at portion sizes, free refills on soft drinks and the intense heat that has enveloped much of the U.S. this summer.
The NFL has moved aggressively into international markets in recent years, and is slated to play more than a half dozen games at various locations overseas this fall.
Kraft is one of the NFL’s longest tenured owners and is an ally of President Trump.
