Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones backs NFL franchise in London

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is excited about bringing his team to London this autumn, as he backed the idea of a team being based in the UK in the future. The expansion of the NFL this side of the Atlantic continues to move on at pace, with this year three regular season games taking place at Wembley Stadium. 'America's team' will be one of the six showing up in the UK this year, as they play London regular Jacksonville Jaguars. Bringing over one of the biggest teams in the USA is a big boost for NFL in the UK, and owner Jerry Jones is delighted to be bringing his team over to play in front of their UK fans. "We were very anxious we got to play there," Jones told Sky Sports NFL. "We went there in 92/93 I think for a pre-season game, not a regular season game, at Wembley and I'm very excited about it."

Well, if Jerry thinks it's a good idea then...

 

Jerry will be excited about it until the day the Cowboys have to go over there and play a game.

 

They play the Jaguars in London this year. Can you read?

 

Has he made the trip to London yet?

 

Haha.

 

If he's that excited...why not take his franchise over there and stay?

 

Since I've been reading for a much longer period of time since you've been alive and breathing on this planet, I consider that an asinine question.

 

You felt that worthy of a 2nd reply?

 

having a team there makes no sense at all. The travel for that team would be horrendous. And a perfect target for some terrorist group wanting to hurt the U. S.

 

In just thinking like that, you've allowed the terrorists to win.

 

I did. You have a problem with that?

 

I'm with @Tarkus. This is proof positive that it's a terrible idea.

 

Nah. Just gives them an easier target.
