Birmingham versus Wrexham aired live on US TV today. I didn't watch it, but couldn't avoid knowing the result since it was featured predominantly in the sports headlines. Mainly because of the various American celebrity owners of both teams (though Tom Brady's 3.3% ownership of Birmingham is hardly comparable to Ryan Reynold's massive investment in Wrexham). A couple of years ago, I would never have imagined that a match in the third tier of the English league would be such a big deal in the States. What a weird time we live in.
