US football website battles with Premier League

A fascinating clash between a US-based football website, Yanks Abroad and the Premier League has emerged in public. The website - which covers US footballers around the world - has threatened to start legal proceedings after being denied a Premier League licence this season. Sean O'Conor, YA's England desk chief, says his reporters have been denied the opportunity to do their jobs. A meeting with the league's representative, Derek Johnston, revealed that he couldn't grasp the point of a media outlet that was either a) not "big" or b) not newsprint. An own goal, don't you think?
