This is good, but generally these owners and these teams don’t lose, unlike in Europe. The Super league was all about creating a system where the richest basically could always maintain the same level of income despite not performing, more or less like the NFL which has a pretty generous safety net.
Say what you want about Soccer in Europe, but it’s a lot more capitalistic than US sports in general - there are no salary caps, no trades for preferential players, no leg-ups in the form of better draft positions for losers. It’s brutal, but also once in a while you’ll get the Leicesters who dominate clubs way above their station. This wasn’t about creating a league of merit - this was about making fixed so nobody could truly fail.
Try telling this to the quants, they can't handle the truth, haha.
