EPL Talk: Premier League Faces Identity Crisis

  • Weston · 1 year ago
    Domestically that would understandably be a significant issue, but abroad the football league easily overshadows cricket (save for those few obvious strongholds - India, Pakistan, etc.) and to that degree wont really interfere.

    I suppose technically, its the 'Barclays Premier League,' and the cricket league, assuming it obtains its own sponsorship, would go by another name.

    Only one problem - It's not the EPL. It's the BPL - Barclay's Premier League. They already gave up the name. Stupid, but that's what they did.

    Problem is that unofficially everyone outside of the UK knows it as the EPL. Officially it's the BPL, but how many people ever use BPL?

    Cheers,
