This is probably a far-too-simple way of looking at it and doesn't take ad revenue into account, but Qatar is eight hours ahead of the East Coast in November/December. The only overlap with the NFL would be a cup match that begins at, say, 8 p.m./20:00 (most NFL games start at 1 p.m. ET on Sundays, and the Thursday/Monday night games won't be played at the same time as any WC match). I imagine Fox would use its Fox Sports 1 channel to air those anyway (the final, however ... well, we'll see). Never mind that this is more than seven years away and the network will evolve in any number of ways by then. And also, what's messier for FIFA: dealing with a potential lawsuit from Fox/Telemundo or pulling out of Qatar? Math isn't difficult there.

Don't get me wrong; I really do hope that this poo poo gets fixed, but at the same time I think with regard to the "but Euro club seasons!" and "but the NFL!" ... c'mon, they'll sort that poo poo out.
