Premier League Denies US Hosting Plans as Rumors Run Amok
Rumors have been swirling about the potential of the English Premier League to host games in the United States, but those claims have been emphatically debunked by top league officials.
Despite growing reports and speculation linking the Premier League with plans to stage matches Stateside, senior league executives have flatly dismissed any such talk.
"There are no plans, no discussions, no exploratory talks, nothing, about playing Premier League matches in the United States," stated a Premier League spokesperson.
It seems that talk of a cross-Atlantic crossover is merely hearsay, a result of rampant speculation and fantasy.
For several seasons now, there have been whispers of American-based clubs possibly joining the Premier League or its top-tier foreign competitions, only for these assertions to be constantly quashed. And so, too, will these US game rumors, insiders suggest.
Additionally, league chief Richard Scudamore addressed these rumors yesterday during a speech in London.
"It’s about being focused on our own strength and what’s right for English football, for our clubs and for our country," Scudamore claimed.
So fans need not sweat – or jet set across the Atlantic, come that is to be the plan. No further expansion is intended or on the table. What the Premier League intends to center around, henceforth, lies domestically, staying strong in a core strength region and avoiding excessive changes to alter this formula to ensure that home-based football receives sufficient focus as needed.
By stating such words of comfort as well as solidifying Premier League loyalty, you could potentially silence many an unrest fanbase looking to their much-adored group, knowing fully that this core dedication and sense of continuity exists for a foreseeable future. It also leaves American sports enthusiasts eagerly hoping to observe these highly rated European games while enjoying a tranquil experience with home, family or buddies in what the league seems unwilling to sacrifice – stability as its ultimate purpose.
