Btw I'm not from the UK, so perhaps this is a big deal in terms of this affecting the 'working class' because as an outsider that's what it looks like.
But I can say having lived in two countries - Australia and Malaysia - they may care less about the premier league, and traditions and history. Like literally the way someone in Asia picks a club is to pick one with recent success, like a top 4 club. There's actually been a lot less Arsenal supporters honestly, because it hasn't had that recent success. But most people here are Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea fans. And they don't really give two cahoots about playing Burnley or Stoke.
There's 2.5 billion people in Asia - that's what people in the UK are up against if they're fighting against the Super League. Even if no one in the UK watched the Super League, there'd be billions that watch. Football is huge here, not necessarily because of all the 'history' but because people like big spectacles like a Liverpool v Man United. People don't even care about their own sport in their own country, people just want 'the best'.
Even if these 12 clubs lose in the UK, Spain and Italy where they are from - the audience out there is huge for them. Now that I think about it like this - they really can't lose.
