I don't know what the other UK-based guys think, but I don't want a London franchise. Not that it would happen now, but I didn't want the Rams in London as it would be a disadvantage to the rest of the league because of all the reasons outlined above, plus I didn't want a bunch of UK bandwagon jumpers becoming overnight Rams fans. I also have zero interest in supporting another team (even if it's in the AFC). Besides, I don't support London soccer teams, so I am as likely to see this as a London team to loathe as a British team that I should support. I did sort of root for the London Monarchs but that was in the context of a different league, where they were not competing with the Rams.
I'm also against games in London generally, as Sky tend to block NFL red zone access when the games are played at the same time as other fixtures, presumably to force UK fans to watch the London game and boost the viewing figures. I might feel different about that if I lived within easy travelling distance of London, but I'm far enough away that I'm never going to get to a game in London.
