Report: NFL plans to put franchise in London within six years.Bye JAcksonville?

[SteelCitySoldier]

NFL once had the Euro league, why not just bring this back? No way in hell can you have one team on the complete other side of the globe. Bring back the Euro league if you can get enough teams...if not then ditch the idea and just continue to bring them games during the regular season.

put teams in places nobody cares about nfl football

and im not talking about europe, im talking about la

 

[Corey Matthews]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo how is traveling from London to Seattle is supposed to work with jet lag

 

[PortCityProphet]

do they play soccer in the fall on sundays?

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Logistical nightmare, but the league doesn't care about its players so that won't stop em

Y'all fall for the banana in the tail pipe every time

This is just a SERIOUS bargaining tool aimed at the Raiders and the Jaguars for their cities to cut the check for new digs.


Since the San Antonio idea is

So basically their home games would have to be between weeks 4-13. Because every team gets a bye coming back from London

It would look like it but how will their fans watch their away games????


I think they need to have four teams and have their own division which would make sense

 

[wire28]

Horrible idea, which means it'll get done.

 

[Stelio Kontos]

The UK is where the money is but I still hope for an NFL team in Canada at one point. Fuk the CFL

 

[DonKnock]

Soooo what happens if that London team hosts a conference title game?

They'll have the first ever conference championship blackout

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

Why not Vegas? Even Toronto sounds better than London.

Nothing to worry about as it isn't happening. The weekly logistics aren't doable.

How many players would be willing to basically live there for months...what about their family.

I say it's at least 20 years away if at all. Who the fukk Wonka take that plane across the Atlantic that much?

families
insurance
dollar conversion
taxes
logistics
INTEREST from London in a single NFL team long term


yea this shyt SHOULDN'T happen. You know how PISSED the London region would be if their team made it to the Super Bowl and the damn game is on the West Coast and they aren't going to wait up to watch that shyt?

 

[pete clemenza]

I would feel sorry for a player making the minimum or a practice squad player trying to live out there

Khan is fortunately putting A LOT of money into building up the area near and around the stadium and interest in the team. We just gotta start winning
