London wants an NFL team.  

It will happen, and we should recognize that this cannot be accomplished without a certain amount of deception.

The NFL has talked about the London team having an American HQ on the US east coast and possibly playing one or more home games there.  In that scenario, Jacksonville would "keep" the Jaguars but only for Training Camp and maybe 1 home game per season.

You are so full of it it's coming out of your ears. 

London supposedly (there's no actual proof of this) wanting a team is not enough. Thay have to actually support the team. A nebulous prospect at best. 

Your last two sentences are 100% hogwash. Show me proof of either being remotely true.  I'll wait.

130+ hours on tenterhooks is torture enough even for one so bereft of civility, though a casuist of even nominal aptitude might have gathered the data himself instead of petitioning his opponent to disseminate.  Nevertheless, here is the top-ranked result from the very useful service "Google".  It is a Sports Illustrated article from September 2017, with several statements from the NFL’s executive vice president of international, Mark Waller:

Having a team five time zones from New York and eight time zones from Los Angeles isn’t ideal, and competitive-balance issues resulting from that can’t be ignored. To ease the issues, Waller says the hope is to give a London team two facilities—one in the UK and another somewhere in the U.S. southeast.

Waller explains, “If the team had a second base on the East Coast, and when they came over to the States they were going back to a familiar place, there’s a general feel [among teams] that it would solve a vast number of the operational issues, whether it’s transportation issues, talent issues and making sure week-in, week-out, you have the talent you need on hand, increasingly there’s belief that’s the right solution.”

Your contrition and repentance may be relayed privately if you wish.
