Dallas Chosen For NFL Draft Over Philly For Some Reason

PHILADELPHIA – Even after the 2017 NFL Draft was a huge success in Philadelphia, the "good" people at the NFL have decided to spit in our faces by hosting the draft elsewhere. Dallas, to be exact.

That's right. They chose what's likely Philadelphia's most hated sports city to host the 2018 draft.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Wednesday that the draft will be held in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas next year.

This marks the first time the draft will be held in a stadium.

The Ben Franklin Parkway and the Art Museum hosted the draft this year. While many commuters and residents in that area complained about the traffic hindrances created by the event, most viewed it as a huge success with few to no issues cropping up during the draft.

"Philadelphia raised the bar by taking the Draft to another level, and this new opportunity in Dallas will enable us to continue the event's evolution and grow it even further," Goodell said in a release. "We are grateful to the Dallas Cowboys, the cities of Arlington, Dallas, and Frisco, and the Dallas Sports Commission for their leadership in turning this vision into reality."

So all you NFL fanatics who love the draft, will you head into enemy territory to see if Dallas can stack up to Philly in hosting the draft?
