"Yearly"? Like once a year?
So no, you don't travel.
My point was that for most of that flight you're asleep, which you're going to do anyway. So no, you're not "losing a day", you're spending a night sleeping in a different place. And you gain the time difference back on the return.
There are people working in areas like sales who travel that distance twice a week. I'll fly from London to NY and back for work 2-3 times a month. If I can do it then so can pro athletes making millions per year.
And they get to do it on a private jet.
They just need to travel earlier. Fly on Tuesday for a game on Sunday. They don't do that in the US because it adds cost (hotels, etc), but you would have to to make this work. But that's all you have to do.Again leaving LA at 10am it's already 6pm in London. History shows west coast teams flying to the east coast are already at a disadvantage, now you want to add four hours flight time and 5 time zones. It's not a good plan.
Doable but still a bad idea in my mind. Also how about start times? Are we gonna be forced to wake uo early on the west coast to watch games. How about the MNG, will they gladly watch at 2 in tge morning London time?They just need to travel earlier. Fly on Tuesday for a game on Sunday. They don't do that in the US because it adds cost (hotels, etc), but you would have to to make this work. But that's all you have to do.
And I didn't say I "don't like Americans". I am American. I said Americans don't travel (meaning, to other countries), so they're less used to long flights. England is tiny but the Brits will fly to someplace like Mauritius as if it's two towns over.
