Sports work best when there is a salary cap and a quasi-socialist system (e.g. revenue sharing, draft system, etc) which produce high pairty between teams.

The European system for soccer almost invariably centralizes money and talent into a handful (or possibly just one) team per league. Promotion/Relegation is irrelevant since these teams dominate the other farmers who are of no concern or importance.

This is why American Sports are so much more interesting as almost any team can win it any year, but you know that 90% of the time baynern will win bundes (and they are driven by the bavarian inferiority complex to the rest of germany having lost to prussia), madrid or barcelona will win leliga, PSG will win the french league, etc.

The only league with decent competition is the EPL and this is because they are more fair with revenue sharing, whereas leliga rigs everything for barca/real madrid (in part out of an inferiority complex to anglos/germanics, but also as part of a leliga/UEFA project to capture market share, hence the CLmaxxing they have engaged in)

Yeah. Really all of Europe should be one league with a maximum on how much a player can earn I don't think that's what you mean by salary cap but that's what I mean

I dont know about the italian league but i'm pretty sure there's only a few relevant teams there as well

>>149212056
yes, they need to give up their memes about domestic leagues (they are not soverign since they're in the EU anyway, they're just pretending -- US states are more soverign than EU members). it's just a bitter pill for europeans to swallow that they aren't relevant unless they accept a pan-european/EU-esque identity.

>draft system
you will see american sports fans rooting for their team to lose matches so they have a better chance of a good player in the future. if that's not extremely cringe I don't know what is

It’s not socialist enough. Everyone should get the same amount of points as well.

Reminder that no team has ever won the English second division back to back. Can't get more competitive than that.

The MLB doesn’t have a salary cap and there’s a lot of parity.

Only because baseball is so luck-based that winning 70% of games is considered an all-time great season. If the NBA had MLB-esque rules regarding salary, a team would go 73-9 every year.

basketball also differs from baseball in that it is high scoring which generally means the better teams win as there’s less apparent luck

False. Salary caps just change what makes teams dominate a sport from money to whatever. For NBA teams for example, it's usually location or culture. Teams like Lakers and Spurs will always be close to a good or entertaining team.
