Globalization of the NFL would be cool in London. But it seems that it would be a realistic idea. The reason being is it hard to expand a sport all the way across the world. The reason that this would even be an idea is that the NFL would be looking to receive more revenue then what it is already getting.
London would be an ideal spot is because although the English premier league is big over there has been a pretty good turnout for the NFL games that have taken place. Although the stadium would not fill like it would in the US the NFL believes it would generate more revenue by expanding. One of the facilitators of this is that NFL owners have stakes owned in English Premier League teams. One of the disadvantages of expanding that comes to mind is traveling. The amount of time that it would take to travel overseas to play a game every week would be ridiculous. That would not be beneficial for the opposing team to have to travel that far. Athletes would not be willing to travel that far to play a single every year maybe even twice a year if they have to go there during the playoffs. I like the idea of playing a game there once a year but, I do not agree with trying to have an expansion team over in London.
