But the NFL has been trying to expand globally for a long time, so they have to play down the “Americanism” aspect. That’s what a lot of this crap stems from.

Hadn't thought of that, but it has the ring of truth.

That's what CNN did. Turned anti-American when they wanted to go international back in the 1990s.

I remember when Tom Clancy's characters would look to CNN as a rock of stability and honest American fact-based journalism. They'd hear about something terrible happening somewhere, and they'd turn to CNN right away.

That was in books he wrote back in the early 1980s. What a different time.
