While on a tour in London to promote the NFL International Series, which continues at Wembley Stadium on October 28, New England Patriots** owner Robert Kraft expressed his desire to see an NFL franchise in London within the next 10 years.
"I personally think we should have a franchise in London and that is something I am going to push for," Kraft said via Neil Reynolds of Sky Sports. "I think I said that the last time we were over here in 2009 and before this next decade is out, I hope we have a team here. I think that would be right for the NFL and this fan base has proven they deserve it.
"I think we're starting to tap out in the United States. If you look at the last Super Bowl we were in this past season, we had over 180 million people watching -- that's almost two thirds of America. So for us to grow the game, we have to expand globally. Having seen the kind of support we have received here in London, it is the intention of the NFL owners to get two games here, starting next year."
Growing the game globally makes sense, but which team goes?

Yes, because logistically, that makes shitloads of sense.
Isn't Bob Kraft content enough just changing the rules of NFL football to favor his pioneering 1st ever transgender quarterback? That should be sufficient enough of a clusterfuck of a legacy to leave behind.
