The NFL has been hinting for years at the placement of a team in London. For the first time ever, the league has hinted at the possibility for a four-team division based in Europe.
And this one didn’t come from some mid-level executive whose extemporaneous remark will later be walked back by 345 Park Avenue. Commissioner Roger Goodell made the statement himself, earlier today in London.
“There’s no question that London could support not just one franchise, I think two franchises,” Goodell began. “I really believe that.”
The fact that London has two NFL-ready stadiums proves that, if/when a team moves to London, it will be two, not one.
