I know Kentucky sucks in SEC football, but really, giving the school an NFL franchise to compensate?

I assume football players are not going to like being traded there.

16 trips across the Atlantic every year? This is almost as bad as putting a team in Los Angeles.

Brilliant, strip St. Louis of an NFL team, strip either San Diego or Oakland of their franchises, and give an indifferent England an NFL team, forcing West Coast teams to participate in a once-every-four-years road trip from hell.

There's still a lot to love about pro football, but Roger Goodell and the current NFL ownership are working hard to eliminate them, one by one.

Look at the 80,000+ attendance figures on the right.
That pretty much tells the story. - Tom

This is not a good sign for the NFL. It tells me that have saturated the U.S. market completely and are now running out of gas.

This is not unlike the situation about 20 years ago when NASCAR began expanding into major metro areas from its original strongholds in the South. Two decades later, the organization has a lot of problems ... and lot of their traditional fans are gone.

The UK will be lost to the Muzzie Jihadists in six years - I doubt this will happen.

I hope it fails miserably....Like the NFL “europe”.

England has the best sport in the world—rightly named “FOOTBALL”.

They don’t need fat@ss “athletes” who can’t run for more than 5 seconds playing grab-@ss and then chit-chatting for 45 more seconds to do it all over again.
