European Football is this popular because it is "undervalued". It is pretty cheap to go to games, and it was cheap to watch the games on TV. The open structure allows everyone to play and teams to rise from minor to major leagues. It is so popular, because it is accessible to everyone. If you try to maximize profits, fewer people can go to games and watch at home. Season passes for fans are cheap and they make the atmosphere. If you take these away, the experience for everyone involved gets worse. Football can only stay so popular if it is cheap enough to be accessible. The banks don't care how many watches as long as they can get the most revenue from the people that are left. This is going to kill the sport in the long run. That's the reason why fans are so against these changes. A super league would destroy the basis that makes football a fan sport.

[@Tukkerrandy]

I think there are create two footfall fan profiles: global fans that are mostly focused on the big leagues/teams, supporting the big 'brand' clubs, and the local fans that support their club and consistently visit the stadium. The last group will definitely suffer for this reason yes.

and unlike American handegg ball, you know, the "football" where they don't use a ball and play mostly with hands, they don't have ad breaks every 5 minutes, literally can't stand those

[@spinyslasher6586]

You didn't mention how NFL and NBA can get more money out of broadcasting deals because of how the sports are inherently structured. In both of these games, the game is segmented into multiple phases with break time in-between, meaning more time for ad-breaks. On the other hand, in non-tournament football there's only one break time, that is the half-time. So it's inherently harder to monetize the broadcasting of football.

[@JP-je6jg]

It's also easy when you don't have many or any rival leagues.

Well, football nowadays have PLENTY of ads troughout the match: 1. eletronic sideline banners, 2. As many kit sponsors the leagues allow teams to have 3. Competition sponsors 4.

Shit like this is why the Bundesliga is as important as it is. The only top 5 league still holding out against this stuff. It's unfortunate that rather than getting appreciation for it, fans (of the Premier League especially) will keep calling it a farmer's league despite never even watching a single game, only looking at the end of season table (when in reality, the Bundesliga is one of the most exciting leagues to watch due to the strong mid-table). I'm glad the investor deal regarding TV rights fell through after the fan protests over here - we don't need that kind of stuff here. The banks can keep their money and shove it up their asses for all I care, even if that means that there's a chance we might drop out of the top 5 leagues in the future (on paper, anyways).

@@youcantalwaysgetwhatyouwan6687 if making money is your priority yes, sure. US sports does really well. Doesn't make them more popular though does it? In terms of popularity and viewership, football decimates any American sport. 1. Who is sport for? Fans or to make billionaires richer? Who gives a toss what 'investors' feel safe in. NFL teams literally tank, it's sickening. They get rewarded for being bad. What a product that puts on the field 😂, 2 bad teams trying to out lose each other. Promotion and relegation allow meritocracy, if teams aren't good, they get relegated. I think it's only American sports that find that an odd idea. 2. Well can you imagine Mahomes going to the Panthers? Even with a salary cap, good players who want to win don't play for bad teams. The whole patriots dynasty was built on Brady and other players taking team friendly deals to chase a ring. Hardly the spirit of the salary cap is it. Also, doesn't it just strike you that a load of rich people decided they wanted to keep costs down, so made sure each team couldn't spend more than an agreed amount? I doubt that ever went into their considerations. It was only ever about 'competition'. 3. Erm no...teams still scout players. You think they don't scout before drafts? 4. I have no idea what you are saying there, if you want to rephrase it an get back to me thank! 😁.

As an American who’s played my entire life, the thing that drew me to the sport was its authenticity. My local (American) football teams always seemed like a vessel for advertisements… every moment of pause in the game is filled with an ad of some company… the prem felt like it was local.. the clubs cares about the citizens of its city or town… it felt tangible and real… not just the thing you attach to make people interested in your advertisements. I wish (as a Liverpool fan) my club was in the championship or a lesser league because especially with man city, the entire league feels more and more plastic.. I’m less proud to support my team or the leagues success.
