First of all, holster your comments if you quit watching the NFL. I get it. I’m asking the question because the NFL is running commercials about how many fans they have in Europe. Undoubtedly, preparing to expand across the pond. So…are the teams that play in Europe taxed at that Country’s tax rate?

Theoretically, yes.
But professional sports teams are a money laundering and tax evasion smorgasbord, even more than expensive art. Everything from gov't subsidies for stadiums, marketing and sponsorships, to player trades have been wrapped in repeated scandals for decades. Asking about their team tax accounting is like asking about wrestling rules in the WWF.
