The problem with the "everyone is going to lose a home game eventually" argument is that it will take 32 years at this rate for that to happen. More than likely the league will have realigned by then. And if London doesnt have a team after, say, 10 years, I doubt they are going to keep doing this. And there is even talk of a 17th game abroad for all teams. IMO this London thing will not happen. It would be the equivelent of NYC getting a soccer team that plays in the EPL (English Premier League). There is a cult following for football there, but not enough to justify changing the way the NFL operates. I can see us being successful in Toronto and Mexico City before Europe.
Bottom line is the Saints are losing a home game and I think this project will be scrapped or altered before even a third of the league has to give up a home game.
