Future NFL (Timmytech874)

== History ==
For the 2020-21 season, many people have seen a new policy in which the league no longer punishes players for kneeling during the national anthem. This has been met with mixed reviews from both sides; some happy for players (especially some who are of african descent) to finally voice their options, and finally relieved that justice is being served on the league for their treatment towards Colin Kaepernick. Others, however, criticized the league for conforming to the 'sheeple', and even Donald Trump voiced his disapproval of the league, to the point where some people tried to boycott the league, only for that to get reversed when it got to court. 
Due to a second COVID-19 wave that swept the nation during the 2020-21 season, though not as wild as the first wave, the league was forced to socially distance attendees during games, while some games only allowed up to 5,000 people to watch the games. Players who tested positive with COVID-19 or contracted the virus were forced to quarantine for a few weeks, or until they test negative. At one point, a few games were cancelled and rescheduled for January 9th under extreme quarantine measures, which was originally the Wild Card games. Ultimately, the league pushed the start of postseason on January 16th-17th, all under social distancing. Super Bowl LV ended with the Seattle Seahawks beating the highly favored Baltimore Ravens, witnessed with a low attendance at Raymond James Stadium. While the COVID-19 pandemic lingered on for another year, it did not do any damage to the 2021-22 season. 
International Games would be restarting for the 2022-23 season, where the Green Bay Packers and Jacksonville Jaguars would play one of their home games in London at Wembley Stadium, the New York Jets and Los Angeles Rams would play one of their home games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, also in London, and the Arizona Cardinals would play one of their home games at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. During which, Roger Goodell announced that they were working to expand the International League in places such as Canada, Ireland, Spain, and Germany. It would be announced that in the 2024-25 season, there would be an International Game played at Rogers Centre in Toronto, hosted by the Buffalo Bills, the first time since their last Toronto Series game in 2013, as well as two games in England (Tottenham Hotspur and Wembley), and one game in Mexico (Estadio Azteca). Then for the 2025-26 season, there would be International Games played at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany and Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland. 
In the year 2027, after the New York Giants won Super Bowl LXI, Roger Goodell announces that he will be stepping down as NFL Commissioner after serving for twenty years. After electing a new commissioner, they immediately proposed new teams and new divisions for both conferences; the goal aimed to get forty teams; twenty for each conference five for each division, by the 2036-37 season. The first cities to bid for a new team were San Antonio, Portland, St. Louis, and Mexico City. The former three were easily granted new teams, where they would start playing by the 2033-34 seasons, with a temporary schedule format. For Mexico City, it was a different story. The league questioned the team's home stadium being Estadio Azteca, which shares tenants with two Mexican soccer teams, and the city refused to make a new stadium for the team. In response to that, the league refused to accept Mexico City's bid for an NFL team, but will still allow International Games to be held at Estadio Azteca. After the 2029-30 season, Monterrey started to bid for a new team. After discussing either letting the team share tenants with the local soccer team at Estadio BBVA or finding potential sites for a new stadium with the city, as well as neighboring Guadelupe, the league decided to establish a team for the city. At the same time, Toronto started bidding to have a new team with a new stadium built over the recently demolished Rogers Centre. After discussing talks about financial concerns, fan interest, and rivalry with the CFL's Toronto Argonauts, the league decided to establish an NFL team in Toronto. By the 2033-34 season, the new teams debuted as the San Antonio Pyros, St. Louis Stallions, Portland Pioneers, Monterrey Diablos, and Toronto Mounties, with the Pyros, Pioneers, and Mounties landing in the AFC, and the Diablos and Stallions in the NFC. Out of all the teams, the Pioneers, Mounties, and Stallions were instantly the most successful, winning their divisions the first year, but one team (Stallions) would win the Super Bowl the next year, followed by the teams making the Super Bowl in the next few years.
For Super Bowl LXII, league officials have voted to have a Super Bowl held at the Alamodome in San Antonio, where the San Antonio Pyros would later play their home games, marking it the first time a Super Bowl was held at a stadium without an NFL team residing there. The Kansas City Chiefs would win that game against the highly favored Minnesota Vikings in a historic 4th quarter upset.
After the 2031-32 season, Louisville, San Jose, and Salt Lake City were selected for NFL expansion teams; Louisville and Salt Lake City for the NFC, and San Jose for the AFC. These teams would start their seasons at the 2038-39 season, with the entire league playing under another revised schedule format. Other cities considered for expansion were San Diego, Birmingham, Baton Rouge, Oklahoma City, Orlando, and Hartford, only for those to either get denied by the league or pulled out due to concerns from the cities. The 2038-39 season saw the Louisville Stormers, San Jose Cyborgs, and Utah Coyotes join the league.
During the 2042-43 season, the commissioner suddenly passed away from a massive heart attack, leading to a replacement to be elected into their place. At the same time, there was rallying cry for the Los Angeles Chargers to relocate out of Los Angeles after the Spanos family sold the team, as well as their contract to share tenants with the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium running out and refused an extension. Unlike the predecessor commissioner, who thought the Chargers were fitting well with Los Angeles, unlike their NFC counterparts, the new commissioner, as stated in an interview with officials, stated that the Chargers were truly San Diego's team, and has given them permission to relocate back to San Diego. Meanwhile, San Diego officials contemplated the team relocating back into their city, while a huge supporting group of fans rejoiced the movement. Eventually after much talk, San Diego officials have quickly built and developed a new stadium for the Chargers to relocate. The Chargers would spend their final year for the 2045-46 season in Los Angeles, before relocating to San Diego, nearly 30 years after they left. 
While the expansion teams have been successful for over the years, some of them thriving with winning seasons and supportive fans, the San Antonio Pyros were not successful. Initially from their opening season (2033-34), they were thought to be a strong team, with a winning season at 12-6, with a wild card berth. However, the Pyros started to lose season after season, coaches getting replaced each season and big-name players getting traded to other teams. At one point, the Pyros have gone two winless seasons in a row; with their first win occurring late in the 2042-43 season, resulting in a disappointing three-year record of 1-53. Rumors were spread that the Pyros would relocate to a new city under a new name. This caused a majority of Pyro fans to give up on the team. After a disappointing 2044-45 season (3-15), those rumors finally spread into light when Oklahoma City was building a new football stadium. While some were relieved of a new breath of light for the team, there was some backlash against the project in which even the commissioner was involved trying to sell the team out of San Antonio, doing it without the team or the public's knowledge of this relocation. Many fans were stunned and angered by the revelation, and the team was threatening to not play their season. The commissioner did not have anything to say whenever he was questioned the involvement. Regardless, this did not stop the league from relocating the Pyros to Oklahoma City before the 2046-47 season, where they would rename themselves the Oklahoma Oilers, under new coaching and new ownership. During that season, where fans of the old Pyros and other supporters threatened to boycott the Oilers and the league for withholding the revelation, the commissioner announced he would be stepping down, leading to another commissioner to be elected into their place.
