Hello, (hopefully this can make it to David) –
I’m an LA based TV Producer who (like more and more Americans) has discovered football in the last decade and fallen completely in love.

I’ve been a fan of yours after reading The Ball is Round last year. What a book. Congratulations on that. For the past year or so a partner and I have been developing a show idea based around the global culture of football, but approaching from the bottom up rather than the top down. Think Salford FC rather than Man U. Your new podcast also solidified my thinking that we should reach out to you.
I am wondering if you are exploring any TV projects? We have been speaking to several folks through our connections in Hollywood and NY and quite honestly we’re realizing we need to get this thing to Europe, where people understand what we’re talking about. I’m tired of talking about David Beckham as the only viable partner.
Thanks in advance. I’d be happy to share the treatment if interested.
