It is a bit "Team America" of them to think they can just demand it because the current owners of the commercial rights (or whatever it is that Liberty actually own, it's hard to tell!) happen to be American.

USA politicians: 'We demand that you let the American teams in!'

Liberty: 'Well it's not really our decision, you'll have to ask the teams'

Teams: 'Lol, you're not our boss, you have no power here!'

That said, I'd love to see more teams on the grid so I'll still be happy if this wacky scheme pays off!
