Default just my two pennies

this is an excellent post. in my humble opinion the way we as a collective group at some point should be able to approach the NFL and make them see our love and passion for the sport. we embodi what the NFL is all about. not knocking other entities, but I look at fantasy football and the support they recieve from the league. I feel that our passion for the game is much stronger. painting teams custom figures and fields this is our selling point. The key to NFL acceptance is going at them head on with tact information and a full display of what EF is on a whole. Our creativity is our power.

Creativity is our power but MONEY is their power. You just can't fight a Billion dollar industry like the NFL. I believe thats why our hobby is small in popularity. However, I do believe it is growing and gaining popularity. Just look at Excalibur Electronics new game. The game is sold out. Obviously they have an NFL license. As long as somebody is selling Miniature Football stuff and has an NFL license they will basically leave us alone. Thats why I like fantasy teams.

Default I would chime...

in on this one but what I know is very indepth. Mike Robertson and I have had this discussion numerous times. Mozeek and I have broached it. Corey "Mr. National" Johnson asked me if I would write a book on miniature football once. This would be one of the biggest chapters. I could probably give you about 20-30 pages pros and cons on this very subject matter.

I will just say naivity is bliss.
