Real talk though, we have to keep tabs on this stuff here at work. The major problem for the future of UK business, is that your exports are dwindling. The UK doesn't really make anything, most is outsourced, and you import more food now than in all your history. The UK sold off most of the brands that it pioneered. Here's a small list of brands the UK lost to foreign owners:

Oxo
Manchester United FC
Manchester City FC
Chelsea FC
Arsenal FC
Jaguar
HP Sauce
Kitkat
Aero
Rolo
Smarties
The Mini 
Thyphoo
Hamleys Toys
Bass Ale
Weetabix
Walkers Crisps
Rolls Royce
Rover
Bentley
Aston Martin
Harry Ramsden
The Savoy Hotel Group
The Times Uk
Harrods
Madam Tussauds group 
P&O Shippimg
O2 mobile

-UK Brands up for sale right now-
Cadburys
Lloyds Bank Plc
ITV
Schwepps

Only women and gays watch football though, so it doesn't matter.

The error the uk made is allowing corporate ownership of your sports. Here in america, the football league forbids corporate ownership. You can only be a shareholder, or brand licensee. We don't give up sports brands like you do in the uk.

Technically, isn't the entire NFL a corporation?

Is fifa a corporation? In structure, yes. Is the olympics a corporation? In structure, yes. Whats your point? Nfl teams cannot be owned by sole corporations. This is to protect the brand.
