A positive swing of 9% in value YOY equalled or bettered by only a few (although Chelsea +25%!)

Can't believe that American sports are so popular and that anybody them outside the U.S. watches them.

I don't think they do, it's just that the American market is so big it can skew the figures. If we had adverts every 5 minutes, we'd be worth $5bn too.
