Relegation is stupid because owners purchase teams based on expected economic profit and nobody would purchase a team for a high price if the NFL could relegate them and murder their income stream. The EPL isn't capitalist, they're a flawed franchisor model.

Each year the worst team in the NFL is awarded with the highest draft pick with the best performing team being the last one to pick from that new pool of talent. There is also a salary cap so nobody can spend that much more than the other guy...don't want the haves getting too much of a leg up on the have nots right?
Yearly bailouts..wealth redistribution...powerful labor unions...it has it all!
Revenue league wide in all kinds of pipelines is shared regardless of performance. The NFL has created it's nice own system of socialism where everyone gets their huge chunk of the pie no matter what happens...and when your team doesn't do well they are lifted up and gifted high draft picks to try and make up for that imbalance.
Meanwhile if you are a weak club in EPL? You get cut from the league. Enjoy the Championship League! If you do bad there as well? Down to league 1 you go! And so on and so on. There is no cap on teams can spend...the rich succeed and thrive...the weak tumble down...
Your world view is being crushed isn't it.
