All true plus something you haven't mentioned, the tax rate in the UK is far higher than in the US. Zero chance a UK based franchise could either lure any FA's or hold on to any draft picks they didn't tag. A stupid idea from a stupid commisioner more concerned with putting his stamp on the league than maintaining a viable product.
