NFL bosses are claiming that before they can branch out around the world they need to break in the UK, so do you think American football will stay in America if NFL fails in Britain?
Keep in mind we are not a fan of American football but there are some supporters here, there was a London team last time the NFL tried to go global.

People show up to the UK games, arguably better than some US team's games (Jaguars and Buccaneers come to mind), and if the NFL thinks they can make money with a UK team then they're definitely gonna do it. The problem is, do the PLAYERS want that? It's not like they're gonna draft a whole team of English players. They're gonna pick up an existing franchise and move it to London. That might not sit well with players who will have to travel back and forth to a foreign country. I think we're still at least 3 years out before something like that becomes a reality, but it's inevitable. It's gonna happen.
