| 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).

| The americans are never interested in sports where they aren't one of the best in the world playing it.That's why football will never catch on over there.That's also why Nascar is the big motorsport in the US and not F1 like the rest of the world.
