Jacksonville losing 2 home games in 2020 to London

#70

The idea that this team is struggling to make money is preposterous.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian...bf3b792f1b

We aren't the least valuable team by a longshot and we have never struggled in bring in a healthy margin.  In 2018, the shared TV, licensing, etc.. money that the NFL splits evenly gave each team over $250M.  Far more than the cost of players which is far and way the biggest expense.  And that $250M doesnt include any local money from tickets, concessions, corporate sponsors, etc....  It's absurd to think we are barely getting by and without multiple trips to London, we'd be going bankrupt.  And all this from a team that has flat out sucked for a decade.  Arguably the worst team in football.  Just imagine how much more money we would have made had they been even decent let alone a contender.  

Part of my skepticism is London itself.  I've been there for a couple games.  The people around town dont seem to care.  And half the fans at the games seemed to be Americans that flew in.  With so many games being played there each year, it feels like the novelty could quickly wear off.  Maybe Khan wants to solidify the Jags as "London's team" because it doesnt really feel that way now.
