candyman93 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 The NFL reaaaaaally wants to make this a thing, don’t they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMountainGoat Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Disappointing. There has been a noticeable swing in mood in the last few years against the Jaguars amongst the UK fans. The media are obsessed with them, especially NFLUK and the backlash is growing fast. The Jaguars are becoming one of the most hated teams in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything their performance helps them. It's their marketing style. The brash marketing approach which suits the US falls flat in the UK. Brits don't like being told we must like the Jags.

TitanLegend Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 So do Jags season ticket holders still have to pay for 8 home games or how does that work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ramster Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Thank god. Hate those games for the rams. Really happy the jags are biting this bullet. True heroes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel terrible for Jags fans because they lose 1/4 of their home games now because the NFL is trying to force London to happen. I wonder how the team/city revenue structure works too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Did nobody else see this coming when Khan bought the team a while back? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49ersfan Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Test run for the future? I could see them trying a full time London team by alternating 2 home/away games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Definitely going to be a trend for them. For now it's two home games. Then add two away games. Eventually add two more home games, then announce a full blown move for London. Curious for the players: each game check is taxed based on the state the game is played in. Florida has no income tax; how does playing in London impact that? I would imagine likely having to deal with additional taxes, so can't be great for enticing free agents when you are spending more and more time overseas and losing on the tax advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtait93 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 This sucks for the AFCS if they plan on making one of those games against a divisional opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 The Browns JUST played in London a couple of years ago and get JAX on the road in 2020, so that figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I still feel about the Cowboys...anyone that declares themselves as America's Team deserves to be hated. Well, at least I know one of those games won't be against the Vikings, since they host the Jags this next year.
