The NFL returns to London this week. Last time they were there, I just happened to be there as well.
England, despite its perceived and at times real snobbery towards America, loves America. The omens were immediate.
The gate at Heathrow welcomed you to... America. In a glorified waiting room was a large photo of the Atlanta skyline. Having just sat on a plane for nine hours from Atlanta, I didn’t need to see a picture taken down the street from where I live. Thanks Delta. American culture is everywhere, it dominates the television, not just in channel selections, with everything from SyFy to Turner Classic Movies on offer, but in programming, they even have Law & Order marathons.
