My understanding is that the London games sell out pretty much instantly, so there's definitely a demand there.

What I just can't figure out is how the logistics would work. You'd constantly have battles between teams that are jet lagged and teams that aren't.

I would imagine that demand isn't big enough to sell out multiple stadiums at the same time.

How the hell can anyone even think its a good idea to have 1 team so ****ing far away? What are they going to do? Have that 1 team play all their homes games in 1 half of the season and their away games in the other half and just **** every other team that has to travel there? Its just so stupid...

They would have a hell of a time getting free agents there.

It doesn't matter if only 1% of people are interested as long as that 1% is interested in spending lots of money.

Yeah, 18% (very/quite exciting) of London is 1.62 million people, which is more people than the greater Jacksonville area... and approximately 1.62 million more than those in Jacksonville who find their football "very exciting".

Probably 1.62 million more than London if the Jaguars were their team.

What is this exciting sport that's called "athletics"?

I can come up with scenarios where you could make it BETTER. You put them in a division with teams in the northeast, so the flights would only be ~6.5 hours and the time difference would only be 5 hours. Then you do the games at 1pm EST/6pm London, which at least puts them in normal waking hours for everyone. And then you do some hotel magic to try and let the players keep a sleep schedule resembling normal.

You could also consider something like you're alluding to, where the London team does 4-5 home games, then flies to the U.S. for a road tour for a month, then goes back.

But that still would be really tough to manage. If nothing else I think you'd need to allow a bonus for London players to make it worth putting up with all of that.
