In reply to:
United's takeover by an American businessman
i saw that a few weeks ago, malcolm glazer, who own the tampa bay buccaneers of the NFL. i was somewhat stunned when i saw it for the first time, but then i realized, its probably just business. the Bucs are a successful team, with a good fan base and a coach who has the potential to get take them to the championship every year. but, it seemed odd for a guy to become the major share holder of what is argubly the most well know sports franchise in the world.. sure, the NFL is popular in the US, but soccer fans across the WORLD know who manchester united is..
i figure this will just give europeans one more reason to hate americans... as if they dont have enough reasons already. i would compare it to the shiek of saudi arabia coming to texas and buying the dallas cowboys.. there would be problems...
