Greenranger Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Heard Charlie Casserly talking on The NFL Today and he said that a group from England was trying to buy the team and move them to London in 2015. Think this could happen? If it does would it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandarinia Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Lol i hope not. Why waste all that money on a team that will only fail in Europe. 95% of the world does not like football amercano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Los Angeles would get a relocated franchise before any European city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vudu Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I could understand moving a team to Toronto, like the NBA & MLB has but an NFL team on the other side of the world? DUMB DUMB DUMB. Brits don't care about American football, they're engrossed in their soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go that far, the NFL games got good turn outs in Europe but I still think it's a bad idea until there is a better form of transportation.

They would only put an expantion team there because the NFL wants the $1 billion check for the new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Toronto will get a team before London. I always thought the NFL had a gentleman's agreement with the CFL that they wouldn't infringe on their game up there. Of course with the Bills playing games there this season, maybe that's changing.

tparich Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The last thing the NFL needs is to add teams. It would just water down the talent pool even more and lower the overall level of skill per team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derp Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I don't think it happens just because St. Louis playing in the NFC West makes an already complicated travel issue even more complicated. Not only do they have to fly over the Atlantic to play in the states, but they would have to play all the way across the US as well to play in divisional away games (SF, Seattle, Arizona) every year. You could argue that the disadvantage on the road is an advantage for home games, but I don't think the league wants those questions coming into play when a team is so good at home and so bad on the road, which could very well happen. So they may want to realign divisions, and that doesn't make any sense just to get a team in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
