MANIFEST DESTINY? TAGLIABUE WANTS NFL TO GO INTERNATIONAL

8.27.1998

          NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue "said he expects the
     league to expand internationally between 2002 and 2012,"
     according to Curtis Eichelberger of BLOOMBERG NEWS. 
     Tagliabue said that the NFL should place a team outside the
     U.S. after the Browns and a 32nd franchise are awarded:
     "Once you get beyond 32, I definitely think international
     expansion.  You could put teams in Canada and Mexico.  You
     could put a team in England or Germany" (BLOOMBERG, 8/27).
