Will Brexit lead to a Premexit?

BBC World Service - Sportshour, Will Brexit lead to a Premexit?

Can the Premier League remain one of the world's most attractive leagues post Brexit?

On Sportshour this week: the unexpected world record bid, Feng Shui in football, the NFL player turned yoga guru and the company sticking with women's football.

Will there be a Premexit?
The Premier League is one of the most powerful leagues in the world. English clubs always challenge for major European titles and sign the world’s best players for record transfer fees. But are the glory days of the Premier League coming to end because of Brexit? Dr Babatunde Buraimo, from Liverpool University, says there are several factors that could help keep the Premier League an attractive destination. 

Four Four Feng Shui 
London based Queens Park Ranger are trying out a new tactic ahead of the upcoming season. They have hired a Feng Shui expert to help improve the clubs fortunes. Feng Shui expert Jan Cisek has told Sportshour that he wouldn’t be surprised to see QPR near to the top of table due to Feng Shui. But he also believes the club should force the players to do Feng Shui in their homes. 

The unexpected battle for a world record 
Back at the start of the year, Sean Conway set himself a challenge to cross Europe on a bicycle in the shortest amount of time. The record stood at 29 days. But just as Sean is about to start his challenge, Germany’s Jonas Deichmann on Thursday beat the record by four days and Briton Ian Findlay is halfway through his attempt and could bring the record down further. Sean says his confident he can complete the challenge in less than three weeks. 

Stick or Twist
The Uefa Women’s European Championships is currently taking place in the Netherlands and to celebrate, Panini released a sticker book. It is the first time; the company has released a sticker album for the tournament. Will Panini continue to print these books for every major women tournament? Nick Clark says companies will continue to invest in Women’s football as it is becoming more profitable. 

The Namaste NFL player
Keith Mitchell was a hard hitting tackler in the NFL, until he suffered a career ending injury. In order to help with his recovery, he started to practise yoga. Years later, as a trained yoga teacher, Keith has held a yoga class at the United Nations.
