The American Invasion of English Football Has Begun

English football has never seen so many U.S. investors, and that has fans nervous. The Premier League is widely regarded as the best in the world. It’s also a market with potentially huge returns, given its global fan base. The question is largely one of risk, as relegation and promotion bring both potential losses and gains. Now, with the proposed European Super League mitigating that financial risk -- and bringing even bigger gains -- for the biggest clubs, will the Americanization of football accelerate?

@diezgp 3 года назад

Americans brought "democracy" into football. The ESL is the first step. The second step is changing the game by making it shorter and with more ads cause kids have a shorter attention span. Maybe 4 quarters of 15 or 12 minutes with 5 minutes of commercials in between. They will say that players need to rest, that football as we know it was a mistake and needs more "quality" instead of "quantity". Remember this comment.

@rebsrebs1 3 года назад

Enjoyed the take on the video. Nicely done. Football is obviously an intriguing beast to be involved in at the moment. As we have seen recently the attempts to bring an American style franchise league with no relegation is being touted for a select few clubs. I do feel doing that will alienate a huge viewing audience in the UK. Internationally it will explode I presume. Football fans by definition are a fickle bunch. But the chance of them knowing that a team 5 divisions down can potentially win the top prize makes it interesting. The test now is whether that risk-reward for the many can out weight the few who want to monopolise the top end of the sport. As a West Ham fan. I will have zero interest in paying any monitor towards watching a league with no relegation or proportion. The best seasons I've watched was Leicester City winning the league.

No no no. This's exactly the reason why American is bad for football because of the inherent different view between a franchise model vs a football club model. A franchise exist to make profit, not to win leagues. So the American owner would be happy enough if the team maintain a decent financial KPI. Like Burley surviving in EPL or ManUtd making to Top4. Glazer would not care much if it takes Ole 30 years to win EPL again. Do you think the Deadpool actor would care if Wrexham ever reach Championship again? No, he doesnt understand it.

Bookmakers probably paid out less in the 2015-16 Premier League season because all the people who bet on a top club to win that year lost their money, and not too many people put large sums of money on Leicester to win when their odds to win were 5000/1.

We've never experienced it personally. At every level in American sports, teams are tied to a single league forever. Promotion and relegation would be great to implement in America though. In addition to raising the stakes, it should make games more evenly matched.

"Soccer" clubs are not franchises. Having been to Europe and experienced the full force of a city living and breathing its club, I genuinely wanted to cry when the Super League was attempted. First time in my life I would've gone out and protested against something if I lived in Europe. The question isn't "can English football survive Americanization." It is can football survive in any country. The leaders of Super League were owners from La Liga and Serie A.

A lot of people debating whether to call it football or soccer. The only reason American Football is shortened to football is because they have no alternative name for it. Rugby Football can be called Rugby, Association Football can be called Soccer, Australian Rules Football can be called Aussie Rules, but how about American Football, Murica Football?
