[Patriots] Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Has Interest In London Based Team?

Owner Robert Kraft told Britain's The Times last week that he believes an NFL team based in London would be a success and that he'd be interested in an ownership stake through his sons if possible. Kraft was in London promoting the team's October game against the Buccaneers.

Kraft, have you lost your mind
Could you imagine the expenses of flying to the US eight times a year to play games and vice versa for the other teams.

Kraft is just being a good PR guy here, he is an incredibly smart businessman, and doing what it takes to get the fans on his side to make the Pats game feel as much like a home game as possible, except for the flight and time change of course.

Beside the fact that I didn't like this idea too, the costs for a flight from i.e. Pittsburgh to San Diego can't be much less.

Anyone who thinks a London (or any other place at Europe) will be a success, is dumb. NFL fans from everywhere, traveled to London to see the games, bc it was a rare oportunity to watch live NFL action. If you place a team somewhere here, the interest will drop bc we ain't going to abandon our teams, just to adopt a new one.
