This is some keeping up with the Joneses going on as we head to the next disappointing CBA. London isn't viable for an NFL team full time because of Visas and all of the logistics that goes into it. Now it probably just got easier with Brexit stuff and the possibilities of the continuation of stronger economic partnerships and trade deals but there are still many hurdles that can't be cleared. Jacksonville is a cheap home base with some advantages in transportation and travel. This is a win/win for the owner but Stockholm syndrome for the fans.

Honestly when an owners meeting occurs, you don't think they hammer Shad on his revenues? These are very, very, very greedy and massive ego people gathered together who don't care about the fans in any of these cities. It is rare to have someone that understands the community connections and awesome relationship that these franchises represent. You contrast that with the man of the year award and that is the bright spot of what having an NFL franchise means to a city.
