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.

I agree. I'm tired of owners claiming they don't have a big enough market to spend $'s. Meanwhile, those same owners refuse to open up their books. When you factor in that taxpayers fund the stadiums, in many cases wages are artificially capped, etc... owners are making a killing. Why do you think owners of even terrible teams rarely sell their teams?
People are quick to blame the Yankees and Red Sox. Rather than criticize those teams, maybe we should have more owners who want to spend like the Yankees and Sox.
