NBC PL Primer

Not sure if any of you were able to catch the PL Primer NBC ran non stop this past weekend on it's various networks here in the States. They are putting a massive push behind the League over here in the States. Even the local sports talk shows are talking a little PL now. Amazing how rapid the sport is growing over here now. For decades people have said football will take off here eventually but I never believed it. It may just be happening now.

Anyways NBC did this hour long show featuring all of the teams in the PL. They talked about their colors, songs, players, and history. The show was spun as a way for Americans to "chose their club." Of course they spent a lot of time on Man U, Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, The Spurs, and Chelsea, but they did spend some quality time on just about every other team....except Cardiff. Watched the whole show waiting to see what they said about City and at the very end of the show when they finally got around to Cardiff it was a few seconds about the rivalry with the Swans and then a sentance or two on the rebrand. Nothing about the songs, fans, team, or anything. It was pathetic.

Anyone else see it?

no but rather disappointed if City wasnt given at least as much time as the other promoted clubs

They are trying their hardest to install the Premier League into the homes of Americans but the fact of the matter is that the interest is still not there, it's improving but NFL/NBA and Baseball will still always be the top priority there. I wish I saw it but the advert over here is disgusting as well. No mention of Swansea or Cardiff but has Palace, f*cking Crystal Palace in the advert. The English media don't like us and the American media won't like us either. We aren't big enough
