If an NFL franchise moves to London, Would the players and the team franchise be required to pay double taxes?

I MEAN DOUBLE TAXES AS IN PAYING UK TAXES AND U.S TAXES?

THE REASON WHY I AM ASKING IS BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE NFL IS REALLY PUSHING AND REALLY WANTING TO PUT AN NFL FRANCHISE, ROBERT KRAFT HAS SAID HE WANTS AN NFL FRANCHISE IN LONDON ALSO ROGER GOODEL HAS SAID IT AS WELL, ROBERT KRAFT ALSO SAID IT WILL NOT BE HIS TEAM THAT WILL MOVE!!

    I don't see them ever making a franchise in London, it is too much travel back and forth for teams going to play there and them here. If the NFL were to go international it would make more sense if it was in somewhere like Mexico City or Toronto.

    @Badass...Goodell DID say he is interested in expanding the NFL internationally and he is organising an extra regular season game to be played in the UK every season....can you see a pattern here?

    Clearly Goodell wants the NFL to go global and the fact that the NFL sells out Wembley stadium every year is helping fuel his unrealistic fantasies. All I can say is that if this ever happens the UK team will be at a great disadvantage having to constantly travel to the US for every road game....this would create an unbalance in the NFL spoiling the league's creditability!

    Don't count your chickens before they hatch, Roger has also said he wants a team in LA and I don't see much pushing there. As for double taxes, probably since you pay taxes for spending anything in both countries.

    @Bad ***, He said clearly his interest in a team in LA because of how far two developers are on breaking ground on two new stadiums but understood that it requires the entire league's approval to move a team in LA. He wrote a memo for this exact situation.

    Also I was talking about paying sales taxes in both countries if you spend anything there. When he said franchise I thought he was talking about buying jerseys or other merchandise in that country, no **** you don't have to pay income tax in two different countries, sorry if I didn't make that clear when it's blatantly obvious.

    All you did with this reply to me is show your ignorance and childish anger, now go play keyboard warrior somewhere else.
