The closest thing we've got to a quality "national" newspaper (but I'm biased as my sister writes about politics for them) pretty much sums up the American perspective, and should confirm to you that your concerns are being noticed. (Advance Warning: "soccer" used so that American readers don't get confused.)

Thanks for this tummer, interesting and pretty accurate account of the Swansea situation. It's interesting to see for me how the American press view the situation here. Can I ask how much interest there is in the USA about the Bradley appointment? |  | | |

ESPN and others all talking about BB and what it means to America. Admitting that we are a country that is begging for validation from the UK is spot on, to be honest.
I've had a couple friends who would have never heard of Swansea, except they know about my love for the club, pointing it out to me that we are a news story in the USA now. | |

Ok then, what else is?
The New York Times is a New York paper with a degree of local focus. USA Today is a nationally-focused paper, but it's a long way from being quality anymore. | |

Hopefully the new owners have read it, not that they would give a shit for the fans. |  |

Thats probably the best article I've read on the appointment - hits the nail on the head. |  | | |

Reasonable analysis of the big risk taken by the new owners. |  |

Good read that Tummer, there's obviously the view of what it can do for American Football, but obviously our only focus is on SCFC and the article recognises that in fairness, I do feel encouraged by what I've read about Bradley, all we can do is give him our best wishes and wish him luck, its not his fault that he's been thrust into this hostile position, the hostility from me is focus on Jenkins and the new controlling shareholders looking in from the outside it seems like they sense an opportunity to promote American football and make a huge name for themselves in America, a vanity project if you like.
They'll soon find out that us Swansea City fans wont be treated like their puppets so they better get things right and then they can enjoy their success along with us, its a tough ask though, over to you Kaplan and Levien. |  |

That's a very fair article. Good on them for acknowledging the difference between 'what's best for US soccer' and what's best for SCFC | | | |

Nicely summed up Jack, I tried it and got there in the end, but I did go around the houses in getting there | |

Hopefully we can play proper American MLS teams rather than east bumfcuk college for pre-season now | |

It's a good article. Highlights the issues, and actually notes that the issues here have little to do with nationality. |  |

Except, Swansea hasn't played a college team.
2016
Richmond (USL - 3rd Division)
Charlotte (USL - 3rd Division)
2015 - canceled - I blame Tummer
2014
Chivas (Mexican 1st Division)
Minnesota United (NASL - 2nd Division)
2013
Utah or Colorado - Can't remember - (MLS)
OC Blues (PDL - 4th Division) - Zardes impressed in that match.
Perhaps, I missed a scrimmage? | | | |

That 2015 cancellation was really disappointing; I would have made a 10 hour drive down there! | | | |
