Narrative A

The acquisition by the American-led Boehly consortium highlights the growing popularity of the Premier League in the US. With there now being more US Premier League owners than UK counterparts, and a recent $2.7B deal by NBCUniversal to extend broadcasting rights for six years, the sport is seeing an American explosion.
