The reason that they show American sports on ESPN as well as ESPN America is firstly that not all ESPN viewers can receive ESPN America (DTT viewers, for example) and secondly that for sports such as the NFL and NBA they only have the rights for the UK and Ireland and the version of ESPN America that we get also goes to several other countries where they don't have the rights.
