Note that all the teams on the West Coast have struggled over the past 10 years. Too much long distance travel in a game this violent already taxes their bodies. Having 8 teams every year travel to London to play is nuts.

Right now, I really don't think adding more teams would be that good of an idea. Look at MLB where the talent level has been spread thin due to expansion to the point that a few years ago contraction was actually on the table.

Personally, if LA was going to get a team, I'd prefer if they let a team move there instead of building a new franchise.

I think London is a bad idea unless you were going to have every road team afterward have a bye week. the London team could never have a Thursday or Monday night game. It's about a 7 hour flight from NY to London, can you imagine a team like San Fran having to travel there? It's an 11 hour flight, they'd have to leave for London on a Monday to get over the jet lag by Sunday. Bad idea.
