Bloody hell, Bobby. Shut yer trap for crying out loud.

Robert Kraft Believes NFL Team Could Relocate To London In Five To Seven Years

Kraft said:
First time we went (to London), I said that in the next decade, I think there should be a team here. I still think we should have a team there, and then probably on the continent. I don’t know how it’ll work, we’ll have to work the logistics. … How would it work? Who would it be? … But I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next five to seven years we have a team there. Maybe sooner.
 
 
considering flights to london are as long, if not rarely a little bit SHORTER then flights to Seattle i dont see the big issue.

The only real drawback is how it ****s the players who have to move oversees, and the league has shown that they obviously dgaf about the players.
 
I think it actually gives a competitive advantage to teams on the East Coast. Flights between London and the West Coast will be brutal. The London team would be disadvantaged by always having long flights to away games.
 
Move the Seahawks to London. Move Tampa Bay to France. Both teams would deserve this.
 
Aren't there football teams in London already or am I as confused as Mr. Kraft?
 
I just want a team in Chihuahua ... the Chihuahua's of Chihuahua.
 
Another problem for the players is the tax rate in England is high and they also will fall under British labor laws. Although that might be a good thing they could turn around and sue the NFL under British law which is more Liberal andwould not hesitate to stick it to the NFL. Imagine a player bringing a concussion lawsuit there

The problem isn't for east coast teams that have to travel there, but west coast teams.
