Re: The London Chargers?
I don't understand the league's infatuation with having an international team. The travel issue would be hell and owners would have a hard time selling players on signing with their team.

The market here is tapped. The “travel issue” is nonexistent to owners who could not give a damn about anything but money.Cameron Giles wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:41 pm I don't understand the league's infatuation with having an international team.

Re: The London Chargers?
I think international expansion is a bargaining chip for the next CBA as much as anything else. I'm sure that the owners would rather extend the regular season rather expand internationally as a way to increase revenues.Cameron Giles wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:41 pm I don't understand the league's infatuation with having an international team.

Re: The London Chargers?
I disagree. The NFL's focus and commitment to scheduling multiple London games each season clearly evidences that the NFL wants to tap the London market, and explore whether an actual London-based franchise is viable.Forza_Azzurri wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 8:20 pmI think international expansion is a bargaining chip for the next CBA as much as anything else.

Because I'm already bleep tired of having to set my lineup by Thursday. It's already a pain in the bleep when you do that only to wake up and forget there was a London game on Sunday and it screws your possible decisions because you live on the west coast.Orenthal Shames wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 3:18 amI don't understand what this has to do with dynasty league discussion.Cameron Giles wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:41 pm I don't understand the league's infatuation with having an international team.

1. It's football.
2. If there's a 9:30 start time for games, then depending on the timezone, you're screwed if you have a player who's a gametime decision.
