Boy, that escalated quickly. A smidgen over 48 hours after the plan for a new European Super League featuring the world's most glitzy and gilded soccer clubs was announced, the whole endeavor collapsed under the weight of its own hubris.

The key drivers behind the ESL, at least among the coterie of English clubs, has been Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, all clubs with American owners who also hold significant stakes in storied American sports franchises. According to press reports, Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke, who also owns the Los Angeles Rams and the Denver Nuggets, Liverpool's principal owner John W.
