I am posting this question here since in lurking this forum I know there is a strong U.K. contingent. I heard on our National Public Radio that the National Football League is likely to have a team in London. Apparently NFL football has proven popular in Britain.

I am a casual American football fan. If I am out at a pub or visiting someone who has a game on I will watch it and enjoy it. But I don't seek it out on my own.

In the U.S. football has more or less surpassed baseball as the national sport. I am a sports hold out for baseball.

While American football will likely never take over soccer in terms of global popularity I am curious on the thoughts of brits on American football. Is it really a phenomenon in the U.K.? Do you watch and enjoy it? Or is establishing a team in London wishful thinking like promoting soccer in the U.S. where it still has a long long way to go.
