In-cog-ni-to window? one slice...

...a phalanx of U.S. entrepreneurs is charging headfirst into the business of the European game. It’s easy to see why. Global viewership numbers are dizzying — beyond the United States, an estimated 700 million people around the world can tune in to watch Liverpool play Manchester United in regular-season games, dwarfing the viewership of the Super Bowl. And there’s none of the handcuffing revenue-sharing prevalent in U.S. major leagues: If the Boston Red Sox sell a jersey, they have to split the proceeds with the other 29 Major League Baseball teams, but if a Liverpool jersey sells, the club keeps all the money for itself. Almost a third of the Premier League teams have American owners, including the Los Angeles Rams’ Stan Kroenke at Arsenal, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Glazer family at Manchester United and the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Shahid Khan at newly promoted Fulham. This year’s Champions League semifinal featured Liverpool and Roma — two European legends, both owned by Boston-based businessmen, John W. Henry and Jim Pallotta. The game should have been played at Fenway.

Haha...didn't know you could do that!

Funny the comments section. Second guy to comment with the 'here we go again about soccer' and 'I only see it being played in hispanic areas'.
 

Almost a 3rd of Premiership teams owned by Muricans?

No.

Arse, vermin, Utd, Palace.

4 is not ALMOST a 3rd of 20.

You aint having Khan at Fulham, not a chance in hell.
