I am well aware that cultural factors are important in enjoying sports and was merely jesting about NFL. It does seem a little insular for an outsider but then football, cricket, rugby and many of the most played and watched sports in the world did originate with the British so I could hardly claim to be neutral on the matter. As for ESPN @Master , they never had many games anyway did they? And what fights have they shown recently? I thought boxnation and Sky pretty much tied up the market over here.
