What are people's thoughts about the NFL playing in London? Apparently there are plans to extend to 3 games next year....

It doesn't bother me. They are saying that Jacksonville might move there permanently. I'm not sure how the opposing teams are going to feel about having to fly to London for a game and then fly back. Usually they give them their bye the week after.

I am pretty sure some teams don't mind. I also think within the next few years a NFL team will be in London!

I don't see the need for it other than they think yhey can make more money if you put a team there.

The NFL shouldn't be playing in London.  If London wants football, they should form their own league.  Also, the costs of teams travelling and playing in London has to be expensive and the price of tickets are not cheap as is.  So this way it would be even more expensive for the fans to see an NFL game.

I guess worldwide exposure equals to more $$$$$ for the NFL.

Kinda weird.  Not sure American football will catch on over there.  Their big love is soccer  and rugby.
