The NFL reportedly is considering whether to take its 2017 all-star game to South America. Specifically, to Brazil.

The country, which hosted the 2014 World Cup and will host the 2016 Summer Olympics, has several venues large enough to accommodate the game and, Alex Marvez of Fox Sports reports, the league is looking to expand its reach to South America.

 

The idea is expected to come up for discussion during the owners’ meetings this week in Phoenix and it’s born of the desire to increase viewership in America and abroad. The 2015 game drew a 5.6 rating that was the Pro Bowl’s lowest since 2007, but it still led ratings for all cable television programs for the week.
