Frankly, I wouldn't put it beyond either league in the US to purposely schedule a high-profile matchup in the area just to try and stick it to the Premiership and only further deepen the popular perception that football won't "make it" in the US.
Then again, it could end up being a great big up-yours from the footballing world to the sporting establishment in the US if the reverse ended up being the case. Risk-reward factor there for sure.
