IF, the NFL expands to London, I will never support the NFL again, meaning no more NFL Ticket and no More support of Goodell.
This is a terrible idea IMO.

Ding Ding Ding, AB is right again. I would be so upset because it just doesn't work out geographically. If they want a foreign team put the Bills in Toronto. It's hard enough traveling from SF to the east coast much less London. I don't think they would have a good enough following either. Which NFL players would want to play in London and travel across the ocean 8 now maybe 9 times a year plus what about pre season? Do they scrimmage with some of the soccer teams?

seriosuly the team travel expenses would be ridiculous. now i could see and would be okay with expanding london to 2 or 3 games a year. but i still feel they should make it an away game for both and split the money made. and if they expand to 2 games going over there it would make it much easier. maybe even sending a game into mexico and/or canada.

I live in the UK and don't agree with the NFL bringing getting a franchise here, I think it will just stretch the league to far and the standards would drop with the extra number of players needed and the distance travelling each week will be to much aswell.
If they did go with it I would have to support using the London Monarchs name again.

Who would want to be on that team anyways? It would be like playing for Hawaii, everyone would want to play you there.

I don't mind the London games as long as the teams get rotated. Meaning I don't want the 49ers to play abroad for a long long time. We did the Mexico game and now London. And to lose a home game over this? Come on.

if the nfl wants to go international they woudl probably go in germany first: larger fan base and more money...also only one "foreign" team pose a lot of logistical problems... it would be possible if they importe an entire division...As an european fan i don't see the need for anothers médiocre teams in this league...
i was suppose to go to wembley tomorrow but health problems with my wife's father will keep me home...too bad for him and...for me too. to all niners fan , have a good week end.
