Steelers' Clark: 'I'd definitely retire' before playing for London team
Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark is not a fan of London, England.
Clark said on ESPN Wednesday that if he played on a team that moved to London, that would be the end of his NFL career.
"I’d retire. I’d definitely retire,” Clark said.
The 33-year old safety and his Steelers teammates leave for London after practice on Thursday where they will face the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
Clark says he doesn't see how any NFL player would want to play in London on a regular basis.
“That team would be asked to travel eight weeks of the season extremely far away. It would be extremely tough to ask. I don’t know if guys want to relocate their families, have their families educated in London, have their families relocate to London. It just seems like a hard deal for players to do. I can’t see unrestricted top notch top caliber free agents wanting to go to London to play football.”
