As the NFL moves forward with its international growth ambitions, a regular-season game in China is expected in 2018. But not every team is on board with that idea.

According to ESPN, executives with the Packers and Giants were among those to raise objections with the idea of playing in China. Packers president Mark Murphy indicated that not only would the Packers never give up a home game for China, but they would object if asked to travel to China for a road game.

“We would not be in support of that,” Murphy said. “That’s such a long trip. If they do it, it would make sense for West Coast teams — shorter trip for them. But that wouldn’t be something we would want to do.”
