Why the Moon?
I could answer that, or I could let someone else:

There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why does Chicago play Yellowknife?

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

-John F. Kennedy (slightly altered)

Why you?
The resume speaks for itself. Founded the London Royals, who have won nearly half of their games all-time.

Is this economically feasible?
Estimates for civilian travel to the moon currently look to be in the $100,000,000 to $150,000,000 per seat range. So, yeah tickets to Moon games are going to be on the high side, but our sales team is working on special offers for families and large groups. Also, all season ticket holders will receive $50 vouchers redeemable at 3 of the stadium's 8 gift shops.

Also, for team travel, based on a full 53-man roster, plus coaching staff, training staff, and administrative, weekly team travel costs are going to run about $8-9 billion. So there may be a small ticket price increase throughout the league in order to cover some of these costs.

Isn't "Moon Knight" trademarked already?


What am I a lawyer? Even if it is, do Earthly copyright laws have precedent on the moon? Whatever, come to the dang moon to deliver the subpoena, comic book lawyers

What would football look like on the moon?
Speed is king in our league, but maybe not so in the low gravity environment of the moon. I imagine agility would be the key here. Create a tiny bit of separation, and good luck to the defender trying to sprint/moon-hop back to close the gap. Also, arm strength probably less important for QBs. May be able to just lob one up that goes the length of the field. I imagine a lot of slow developing pass plays. Also think of the ridiculous catch radius for receivers.

OK...you got uniforms and team colors and stuff?
Gray and yellow. Games will probably have to be played in standard astronaut gear. Which does bring up the incredible risk at play here. A hard enough tackle may cause damage to the space suit, possibly leading to, uh, death.

Is the moon haunted?
Undoubtedly. Bring a shotgun.

Is this a serious bid?
If you have to ask, you're not Moon Knight material
