Sweet, let's take the team that travels the most year in and year out and send them halfway across the world. With the way the NFL likes to dick us, we'll be the team that loses the home game, not the Rams and their brand new stadium.

Still needs approval from team owners (a similar proposal in 2008? to send the Pats and another team to China failed to pass, IIRC because of the Beijing Olympics)
Having 2 west coast teams traveling 15-16 time zones would be even worse than two east coast teams
Jetlag of traveling to China would be 10x worse than London (minimum Thurs night game week before, game week, then BYE week afterwards to recover)
Might as well have the game in Australia to a more receptive audience if you're gonna have two teams travel that far...even Japan (US military there) would make more sense

I love it.... About time we send a crappy low budget product back to China so that they can experience the let down feeling of a cheap copy ripoff.
