I find the backlash a bit OTT to be honest, the guy just proposed an uncompetitive exhibition match, the proceeds of which would be distributed to EFL clubs. Maybe it's just because it's come from an American and a lot of people, justifiably or not, have an inherent fear of the growing influence of Americans in the English game and what that may entail for the future.
I watch a lot of American sport but never watch the all-star games, and accompanying guff that goes with them, because one of the reasons I like watching sport is for the competition. But then they're not for me, they're mainly for kids who just want to see Steph Curry and LeBron James on the same team.
