NFL very close to London.

[SubZeroDegrees]

Won't work.

How would the salary situation work being that London uses pounds and we use US dollars?

Will that team be COMPLETELY London based?

The hassle of the things off the field like health insurance, citizenship, uprooting families, flying overseas DURING hurricane season.

Nah, Goddumb don't think about this shyt, his butt buddy Kraft want a team there so he got to follow orders. If he really serious about this, a better place would be Germany.

Team in London but not LA?

And what's the reason why The Rams/Raiders couldn't stay in LA?

And what's the reason why The Rams/Raiders couldn't stay in LA?

Stadium issues. The LA Coli () has no luxury boxes. Raiders can go back but the davis family would have to sell and they would play in the City of Industry stadium, which is in the San Gabriel Valley.

MLB don't play in London, NBA don't play in London, why the fukk the GOAT sport tryin to do this? This idea is stupid as fukk, the Raiders already have hard enough schedules, playin 1pm EC games now teams got to fly 12 hours to London to play a game all jet-legged out. fukk Goodell

Toronto and LA will get teams long before London, they both have profitable NBA/NHL/NBA teams, so the NFL needs to get up in these sports markets again before London. That would be the stupidest fukkin idea in pro sports history. You'd have 1 team that's farther away from the CLOSEST team than the farthest distance from any teams right now


I just can't see that happening

 

[FTBS]

Stupid idea that will thankfully never happen. I remember when David Stern was talking about the NBA having a team in Europe within a decade more than a decade ago. It's nothing more than an unrealistic pipedream meant to suck up to foreigners.

As for the Rams

Neither Orange County, nor the city of Los Angeles was prepared to build a publicly financed stadium for the team in light of the fact that there were at least 3 perfectly suitable stadiums at the time. Georgia Frontiere attempted to relocate the Rams to Baltimore, Maryland. That deal was eventually nixed. Mrs. Frontiere then sought to relocate the team to the city of St. Louis. NFL owners initially voted to oppose the move. Owners of the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and Giants, the Washington Redskins, the Arizona Cardinals and the Minnesota Vikings opposed the move and argued that Mrs. Frontiere, who pleaded poverty as a basis for relocation, had "horribly mismanaged" the team. Nevertheless, she threatened legal action and NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue acquiesced to Frontiere's demands.
The team eventually bolted for St. Louis. As part of the agreement, the city agreed to build a publicly financed stadium and guaranteed that the stadium would be in the top 25% of all stadiums in the National Football League. Georgia Frontiere waived the clause after the 10 year threshold, as the city implemented a later plan to improve the stadium.
Nevertheless, the move left many in the Los Angeles area and many of those indifferent to the situation to be embittered toward the NFL. That sentiment was best expressed by Fred Dryer, who at the time said "I hate these people [the Rams and their owner, Georgia Frontiere] for what they did, taking the Rams logo with them when they moved to St. Louis. That logo belonged to Southern California." Steve Rosenbloom, formerly the general manager of the team during Carroll Rosenbloom's tenure, opined that teams come and go, but for a team to leave Los Angeles (the second largest market in the country) for St. Louis (approximately the eighteenth largest market in the country) was simply irresponsible and foolish.

how does the travel situation work out?

Actually I think the NFL Is the one league where a team overseas would work cuz there's only one game per week. However why give a city that doesn't even understand oral health an NFL team before LA tho?
