You know what’s socialist....spreading revenues evenly across all NFL clubs no matter how bad a team sucks.
In the EPL, if you suck, you get relegated. Good teams get promoted....and the difference between being in the Premier League and the Championship (2nd Division) is huge.
Probably the richest sporting event in the world is actually the playoffs to determine which teams get promoted to The Premier League, in terms of impact to a team’s bottom line.
couldn’t agree more but you’re confusing the action on the field with the action in the boardrooms. I was referring strictly to soccer as a sport. There is no doubt in my mind that lib’ruls embrace it because it promotes that mythical equality of outcome bullstuff whever a game ends in a tie.
Compare that to what we see in the sports here -- fans are actually rooting for their suck-eggs team to come in last place so that they get the first pick in the draft.
Or how about team owners who don't give a rat's behind if their team finishes last or close to the bottom, as long as there are fannies in the seats?
None of that would happen if the fans or owners were threatened with relegation at the end of the year.
