You Say "London Game," I Say "International Sporting Shenanigans!"
Ah, the London Game. A glorious clash of titans (or at least really well-paid athletes) on foreign soil. But where, oh where, do you, the discerning fan, catch all the action? Fear not, for I, your friendly neighborhood oracle of obscure broadcast rights, am here to guide you through the televised labyrinth!
First things first: What are you watching?
There are two main contenders for the "London Game" title:
- Gridiron Gladiators? Then it's most likely American Football (NFL).
- Fancy Footwork? Maybe it's Premier League Football (Soccer, you heathens!).
We'll tackle each sporty beast separately.
