Re: Hosting a Super Bowl will include giving up home game for London
 
A full time team over here will not work long term. The best viewing figures we get are around 120/130k for games on tv. If a team moves here expect a attendance of 40-50k within a few years once the novelty wears off.

Who will want to watch a team that wont attract players in FA, will constantly loose its best players and have to vastly overpay players. Thats before tax implications and players getting visa issues with criminal records.

Its called the NATIONAL football league for a reason.

Excellent points, :) ... trying to navigate the tax codes of multiple countries is headache enough, not too mention the visa/criminal record stuff, :rolleyes:. I know with Canada, drunk-driving violations can keep you out of the country, so depending on what the UK is calling a 'felony' these days, it could get dicey for some NFL players, :).
