So it's not "city names always evoke sports teams", it's "sometimes they do, and sometimes it's music".

As Troll says, it was on the major news networks. Same as when Chapecoense's team were killed. Maybe some people just switch off when they see its a sport story, but it was reported. It was especially big in Asia because Leicester's owners are Thai. Italy as well, because of Claudio where it was the first time an English sport story made their front page, but it shouldn't really need to be pointed out that it would have been major news in Europe.
I'm not sure if people are just unaware of the global appeal of the Premier League and assuming that because they didn't follow it, it can't be that big anywhere else. It was the biggest sporting upset by some distance. Using betting odds (which represent the likelihood of something happening, with a bit stuck on top so the bookies can make a profit) for comparison, Tyson losing to Buster Douglas was about 25-1. MU's treble was 80-1. Leicester was 5000-1.

Nope, never heard or heard of it. Quote:
Which was exactly my point, a refutation of Monkey's statement that he doesn't "see how a music artist is similar tbh they don't really represent the city in the same way".
