Corden, a West Ham fan, joined the dissenters during the latest episode of The Late Late Show and became emotional while outlining his opposition.
He joked no-one in his American audience cares about the goings on in European football, but said the “monumental” announcement had outraged him.
Corden said: “I’m heartbroken by it, genuinely heartbroken by it. I’m heartbroken because the owners of these teams have displayed the worst kind of greed I’ve ever seen in sport.”
London-born Corden said British football teams are historic institutions with working class roots and are not the same as franchises in US sport.
