So a flight from say LA to NY in length and needing a passport. And the trip has to be made within six days.
Am I missing some issues here? Becuase if that's it, that's nothing.

Is there really any interest in American football in Mexico (and do they have the cash to pay for it?) Not being familiar with the marketplace I have no idea.
Basically saying "F the CFL" might work for Toronto (although they do love losers there, and the Argos are fitting the football void at the present moment), but that's the only marketplace you might build a foothold. Also the CFL isn't like rolling over the New York-Penn League, The league has the seventh highest average attendance per game in the world, on par with major league baseball. Not bad for a league where the average stadium size is 30kish. Do you really think if the NFL puts one team there everyone is going to instantly switch alligence to that league?
