I love that argument. As it is so wrong, its almost funny.

Soccer is pure capitalism: the biggest clubs with the biggest money buy the best players and win the most trophies.

American sport is the real socialism: the draft system, wage caps etc. All set up to make sure one or two teams dont dominate the sport because of money. American sports are set up to make sure everyone is as equal as possible.
And thats socialism, my friend.

Agreed. If you suck, you get punished......that’s why the games at the end of the year for teams looking to avoid the drop are financially the most critical games, the difference for teams playing in the Premier League, as opposed to the Championship is huge in terms of revenue.
