Yeah I’m sure Americans care about a game compared to be able to set your countries monetary policy. Half the clubs in Europe are going to be owned by Americans.
Recently, a trend has emerged in the English Premier League and in other European leagues where popular football teams were being bought by American investors. Eight of the 20 English Premier League teams are either fully or partially owned by Americans. These eight teams include Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United, three of the most successful and popular clubs in the league. This trend is also observed in other European Leagues: AC Milan, Parma, Fiorentina, and AS Roma of the Italian Serie A, as well as Bordeaux and Marseille of the French Ligue 1, are also fully or partially owned by Americans.

Chelsea FC..which was recently owned by Roman Abramovich who was forced to sell due to being one of Putin’s boys and an oligarch has been bought by American billionaire Todd Boehly.
Unlike other American owners he invests in the club and doesn't use it profits to pay off his US debt like the Glazers.
Problem is he wants to get too involved and turn the English league into something that resembles American sports with play offs and such. Of course he was rebuffed.
He also didn't realize that unlike the US football beefs in Europe are mainly local and not so much regional. Your biggest rival is the other team in the same city more so than one at the other end of the country unless you're actually vying for league supremacy.
