I’ll tell what’s stupid. The rumors are that since Shad Kahn bought Wembly Stadium, the Jaguars will play half their home games there. That will destroy schedules and insure the team never signs a non-journeyman free agent again. Who wants that kind of travel? The players also have to pay London taxes - there are no local or state taxes in Jacksonville. Any drafted players will get out of the situation as soon as they become free agents. That will insure the team will suck, and a sucking half-season team will piss off Jacksonville fans, too. There’s already talk of a fan strike if the move occurs.
Supposedly the team makes more money in London because the stadium is bigger - 90,000. But Jacksonville’s stadium holds 85,000 for college games. Is it worth destroying the franchise for a season total of 20,000 seats?
The Bumper Tycoon says the rumors are not true. We’ll see.
