This is my thinking, as well. London games are a significant revenue source and he wants to use an opportunity to exploit it. Would one home and one away game be more preferable? Absolutely. But then I’m not privy, or too lazy to research, whether the scheduling scheme offered that option.

Shad Khan has done a lot for this team and this city. I simply don’t see it in his actions, or what I’ve seen of his character, to erode the fan base in piecemeal fashion to facilitate an eventual move. He deserves the benefit of the doubt. I think he’s earned it.
