It's bad enough that sometimes when West Coast teams come over to the East to play 1 PM games they're essentially playing a 10 AM game their time (also consider that they probably have to be at the stadium 3 or 4 hours before kickoff). Now imagine a West Coast team playing a 1 PM game in London which is 5 AM on the West Coast. Then again it would have some potential to work if the London team during the regular season was given their own day. Like Thursday Night Football would just turn into London games.
