>muh promotion and relegationmeanwhile 99% of soccer teams just outspend their own incompetency
>>154327911Im going to post this on r/shitamericans says
>What is Leicester>What is Tottenham>What is Schalke
>>154327911
>>154328110oh nononoon cucked by their hated europeans and sudacas
>>154327911yeah kek it's a total meme and larpthey could have made it mean something with the superleague and promotion out of their farmers league into real competition but they got too buthurt about it
>>154327947They're the other 1%
>>154328243Listen you yank fuck, if Lipton upon Stoketon doesn't get the opportunity to be assraped by Ipswichton U12s then it's not really a competition is it?
>american sports leagues suck because they don’t have promotion/relegation!meanwhile >>154327911
>>154328110why this nibba saying absolutely pointless things to piss off anyone who might still consider voting republican at the midterms
What is the fun of a rivalry if you can’t even play the other team because they’re in another level
Imagine how powerful America would become if they unlocked promotion & relegation
>>154328544You can laugh about them not being there in the first place. Also, you can still meet them in the cup
>>154328355americans sports suck because they are sports built around advertising rather than the other way around. no one gives a fuck if you have pro/relit's odd you have been conditioned to believe you can work your way up through hard work in society but scoff at the idea of it in sports though
>>154328772we have objectively superior parity than your sports and we have multiple of them to watch
Americans don't have relegation cause their worst teams are worth billions or have billions in forever debts and their country is huge not tiny like spain. meanwhile the bottom of the barrell in Spain could be bought by Tom Brady is 2-3 years worth of salary
>>154328812>you only have steak? unlucky, i have dog shit, cat shit and horse shit
>>154328940>he says in a sport infested with diving, rigging and timewastingyou cannot even manage to stop a game clock when a ball goes out of boundsyour entire sport is infested with cultural thirdworldismsVAR didn't even fix it, there was blatant handball during one of your big euro games which let spain win it over germanyits an objectively shit sport and its just a sunk cost to support it, that's why in europe rugby, basketball and handball are growing and the NFL plays more games every year therepeople want better sport options
>>154328575>mass shootings when a team gets promoted/relegated
unitedstatesians be like>yea this is kino, 2 minutes of black players in spandex clothes, armor and helmet colliding. Here comes the 10 minutes of advertising, now i can go get another MC Happy Goy Hamburger o something
>>154327911that's capitalism baby
>>154329158>brazilians calling anyone else black
>>154329565are you telling these guys wearing spandex aren't black?
>nooooooo, you dont understand why a team that never plays and loses on purpose can't relegate, think about muh ad-revenue *burger chew noise* *burger chew noise* *burger chew noise* *gulp*
>The final of American college football is decided by a panel of communist judges because Americans refuse a promotion & relegation system
>>154328110I don't even care much about this whole debate. I just don't get why they call it Football when it makes no sense to do so and they have a much cooler name like Gridiron
>>154336352Because every country calls their most popular code of football football. It's not a uniquely american thing.
I wish our country had pro/rel but unfortunately the government decided to legally protect their cartel
>>154336352Originally football was a sport played not on horseback like polo
>>154336352because the sport evolved from a common ancestor that predates association football
>>154346587I'm pretty sure medieval Football, the one where people from two different villages beat the shit out of each other trying to score a goal, predates any elitist fru fru version of Football.
>>154327911arsenal have spent hundreds of millions of dollars and have never won a trophy
>>154329145freedom aint free
>>154330335not the final you nimrod, the playoffs and various meme bowls
>>154330335>teenagers with limited eligibility>better decide the team's competition based on last year's resultslel
>>154341445>>154346587>>154346781But that's like calling dogs wolves when it doesn't make sense to keep doing so
>>154328381Cognitive decline, he starts with an idea but then just keeps babbling nonsense
>>154327911Definitely not 99%. Much, much lower.But yes, the arguably most egregiously incompetent clubs tend to be safe. In Germany, Hamburg and Schalke paid dearly for their retardation. Clubs with more bandwagoner power like Manchester United or Barcelona are/were not more competent than them in my opinion, but they are getting along fine in the end - they can fuck up financially and on the pitch as they please, get enough money shoved up their asses to be fine. And once they make a single correct decision, all will be forgiven and they will get even moreMeanwhile, there are many smaller clubs that work well with what they've been given, but they will never ever be able to catch up to the big clubs. Their star players will always leave them for big clubs regardless of how much they fuck up
explain to me why the mid money teams dont dominate by avoiding the big money stars and building a team that can actually practice together all the time because they arent jetting around the world to play in various exibitions leagues and for national teams.
>>154354155Can you please give an example "mid-money team"? Just to make sureGenerally speaking ...>avoiding the big money starsYeah, some clubs have much lower squad budgets and work more efficiently with players. But as soon as you have success, these same players will get offers from other (richer) clubs - they will usually either leave or demand a raise>practice together all the timeMid-money clubs are usually the most prone to getting plucked apart by "bigger" clubs, especially after a good season>exhibition leaguesI don't know what you mean tbqh. Everyone plays in their national league, their national cup, and maybe the international competitions (if they have qualified via the league). There are no exhibition leagues. Some big clubs play in meaningless pre-season tournaments, is that what you mean? But it's basically part of season preparation camp anyway>national teamsEven somewhat small (relevant professional) clubs have quite many national team players. Either they have players from medium or small nations, or they have youth national team players. Or both. Not quite as many as big clubs, but still enough for the squad to be depleted during national team breaksIn short, the biggest clubs make so much money that they can continue to pick raisins from smaller clubs. Smaller clubs can work as well as they please, they have to constantly adapt
americans be like "YESSSS WE LOST AGAIN THAT MEANS WE GET A DRAFT PICK IN A YEAR'S TIME"
>>154328812Genuinely cannot fathom having only one sport like England and so much of the developing world
>>154354248the NFL has a handful of perennial bottom feeders like the Jets and Browns because high draft picks aren't strong enough to turn them around
truly the worst thread on this board right now
>>154354248As opposed to being a fan of a perennial shitter fighting relegation like Fulham or Nottingham. Teams go worst-to-first in their NFL divisions all the time. Sports are the one thing that benefits from a socialist approach.
>>154354248Their entire system is baffling. The problem with football is that the competition has been supremely fucked, but American leagues are perverted from the start already>Here, play 71477 meaninless and comparatively unstructured games that are the base for all stats. But remember: none of this matters, you just need to be among the better half to qualify for the actual tournament of value, where refs will also act differently btw. Finishing last is actually good as well btw, get your draft picks ready for next time. Hope your team doesn't do nothing all season, haha. They don't have to, after all
>>154354341don't think you can fathom anything x
>>154354235that pretty much answers my question. the big money teams just have too much money and not enough restrictictions. by mid money teams i mean the ones who have a lot of money to spend but not infinity money like the top teams. meant to exhibitions and other leagues. idea is that if they didnt jump from team to team all year and waste times with friendlys they could practice together all year and dominate because all the big stars are too busy chasing every possible check to practice stuff like offside traps and setplays to negate the talent disadvantage.
