I hate the way teams relocate. It's just wrong . I would despise us to get a uk franchise . It's an American sport and we should enjoy it for what it is .

I agree on relocation, its awful for the fans. Particularly when the owner just wants to move to a "more desirable" location despite the current one working decently (happened to the Seattle Supersonics in the NBA, now the Oklahoma City Thunder). I wouldn't be 100% against a UK team if it was a new expansion team but they won't go above 32 teams (rightfully so) so it's a no go. If there's ever a london I think it'd be jacksonville

Seems like just yesterday Georgia Frontiere came rolling in the front door with her little dog and her football team... Just pass the bond issue for the glorious new indoor stadium and all will be well. The frightening thing is that the Angelenos themselves really could care less about getting a team back. They love it just the way it is. The league simply feels it has to have a team in that market. We spent some time on that rumoured short list, and my heart goes out to the Rams faithful, even if they are all Cardinals fans.

Just one more flavor of crony capitalism. If you want to know the difference between the free market and crony capitalism, look at the English football leagues (free market) and the cartel that is the NFL (the ultimate sports crony capitalism.)

They even get their development done for free by the colleges and high schools. What a racket.

I'd be dead against a uk team. It's a horrible idea. We have no right taking a team away from a city like Jacksonville IMO . I think even taking the odd home game away from teams ( for the Wembley matches) is bad enough

totally agree. i'd only be alright with it if it was a brand new expansion team. Won't happen as it's 32 teams already. They should start up NFL Europe again

I'd be OK with that. Andrew Luck would be OK with that. Lots of guys looking for a paycheck would be OK with that.

Groundskeepers throughout Europe are bearing down on your location with torches and pitchforks.
