    Its possible but I think they would have a hard time signing players/having players want to go to the team. They would have to be in a completely different continent. Away from family, friends, American culture. Not to mention traveling. Even now, West Coast teams have the disadvantage of having to travel to the East coast region. Imagine the London team having to travel to San Diego, San Fransisco, etc. I don't see how it would work but the NFL is stupid and all about the money. Brainless fans will flock to the sport regardless of what they do, the NFL doesn't care just as long as they make money.

    Doesn't sound feasible, so I hope this never happens.

    dumbest idea I've ever heard

    ? already complain about traveling from the west coast to the east coast and vice versa, now you wanna add atlantic trips too???

    so that team in london can never play a west coast team and vice versa cause you'd be eliminating a 2 days of their lives

    not to mention what're you gonna do about tv scheduling???

    ? is fuckn ? ...if you're gonna put a team in london than just redo nfl europe...oh wait you remember how well that went

    For the NFL IDK if London would support it..... NFL Europe was flop though The teams based in Germany were well attended..

    I think a team in Canada would make more sense...

    I think NFL is getting a tad bit arrogant. you already have a billion dollar business. lol.


    Plus I think the UK folks like soccer and rugby anyway.

    I guess American football is to them what soccer is to us.

    true. I guess like the poster said, it just seems like a dumb move.

    "Lets just throw an NFl team in London, it will work." lol Thats what i meant by arrogant.

    but it would be interesting (but impossible) to have a world football league. lol

    I know the NFL sees money in it, but I dont think that would be a good idea.

    Putting a team in Mexico City would probably be a better move right now than putting one in Europe

    The T.Dot begs to differ. An NFL team would do really well here...a lot of NFL fans here.
