Reading all the league unlimited stuff I'm worried this lot will be too much too soon.
LA? Sounds like it could be realllly ambitious.
Fail and you could destroy the lot for good, massive debts etc, i'm reminded if an early SL situation.
They all seem to be big lads but apart from the odd Englishman or Australian, the standard seems to be the equivilent of North West Counties higher divisions.

I remember taking two Americans to a Leeds game and they were amazed by the game, asking questions like,
Do they stop after 5 mins,
Do they have an attacking and defending teams,
How many subs etc....
They couldn't belive the speed of the game and the intensity of it, and the fact that there was such a small playing roster.
They were that impressed they flew back for the Leeds v London Challenge cup final!
This is a game that really could take off in america. All it needs is someone like Trump to start it.
The main problem is the media, they love the four main sports American Football, Basketball, Baseball and Ice Hockey because there is lots of stoppage time where they can place commercials in.
This may mean that for it to take off over there it may have to change to 4 quarters of 20mins.
Remember Murdoch owns a tv channel over there so if he wanted to do it he could.
I'm sure if the Trump rumor is right or any other rich person could start it, it would soon take off. But that is the challenge getting it started. Just look at football (soccer).
