Is is a good idea to have a UK NFL franchise?
[*]As good as it would be for widening the interest in the sport, would college players really want to be drafted to that team?
[*]Even with the regular season scheduling to accomodate a trip to london as part of the bye week, surely its still a bit unnecessary and would produce a team thats a bit of a gimmick?
We have a similar thing being discussed at the moment with the EPL, with teams potentially having to play on another continent for one premiership game, and this in itself is seen by many as unnecessary.
NFL is broadcast to a large international audience, and as someone in the UK I can tune in on a sunday evening like you would in the US to watch and enjoy with no hassle (albeit I may have to stay up until the early hours if its a late KO at Century Link). So why does the UK need its own franchise?
