An NFL team in London would be pretty cool. If that happens, I predict its removal from the league within three years because all sorts of people will be pissed. It would be hilarious to watch for the entire duration.

The British would be mad, or Americans? The number of games in Britain seems to be going up every year which sponsors this idea of an NFL team in London. It makes sense because the games sell out.  Thankfully, Denver is a good team that sells out the stadium so that we never have to go to London.   

Everyone would have reasons to complain about something. There's the big time zone difference which goes both ways, the change in schedule (one division with five teams while all others have four), American players not being happy to get drafted into a team on another continent etc.

Also, I don't think that the current games hosted in London are that much of a success. They are one-off events, so they garner much more attention than a regular presence of a team would. Despite that, there were still tickets to buy for today's Dolphins vs. Raiders game just two weeks ago.

I think you are underestimating how much of a success the games in London are they are pretty successful or they wouldn't added a second game.  Kinda surprised they gave up on Mexico City after only one preseason game Estadio Azteca is a pretty good stadium and the game was a sold out (100,000+).
