Soccer is pure capitalism.
Biggest clubs get the best players, get the biggest crowds, which gets them more money, which gets them the best players and on it goes. Little clubs who don’t make enough money die off. The big boys survive and thrive.
How can Americsns not notice their sorts are pure socialism: the draft system. So the worst team gets the best player, ergo everyone is equal.
Sounds like socialism to me!.
American sport is socialist, not the capitalist British/Euro/world sports!.
No, American sport is a FRANCHISE system designed to increase the value of the whole by maintaining the highest possible level of competitiveness, which spawns the highest possible level of fan interest, and therefore the highest possible level of TV ratings and fan spending. It’s a system that understand 1 bad McDonalds devalue all of them.
