Quote:"London as leverage"

The NFL simply can't afford to "home" a team in London.

 

They can support a handful of games only.  A "full time" team wouldn't work.

 

You can't fly teams back and forth on a weekly basis.  There's enough clamor now about east coast/west coast within the states.  There's no other way around it, since otherwise you'd start to have the London team playing longer stretches of home and away back to back (half here, half there "solutions" that also wouldn't make sense.)

 

It simply doesn't make sense when you move from the fantasy pie in the sky idea, and honestly look at the logistics of trying to make the fantasy a reality.

 

The only thing any team or city has to "lose" is a game or two max.  Not a "team."
