The NFL is completely different to our football though.

The professional game is fed by the collegiate system and teams get their players through the draft system whereby the worst teams get the first pick of the best players each year.

There’s also a salary cap of around $175m for the 53 man roster.

The other thing to remember is that a lot of these teams represent their state which in turn can often be bigger than England in size so there’s no real need for additional teams.

The average “grunt” player in the NFL earns less than a Championship established player and is on the sort of money paid in League One.

The NFL system is actually much fairer and more equitable than the EPL.
