@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere3 жыл бұрын
you're giving the general football fan too much credit, as you've assumed that they'd apply logic and value competitiveness. We know this isn't the case as the premier league is the most popular league worldwide despite its crushing anti-competitiveness. It's farcical that teams like Burnley exist in the same league as an Arab State (City). The viewers just accept that the Burnleys simply exist in this league to survive and have no chance of ever actually winning it. The championship league below the premier league is far more competitive, anybody can win it and the fight for the play of spot puts a dozen or so teams in the running. Yet ask the general fan what they'd prefer to watch and they'll pick the premier league. So to return to the question of the German leagues, the average fan would always opt for 1. Bundesliga as they find it more entertaining to watch Lewandowski score 4 goals in about ten minutes, than watch a contested game in the division below in which either team can win it.
@andrew7taylor3 жыл бұрын
I don't know what the average German would prefer. But I do know that the ticket prices are very fan-friendly, so the stadiums are usually pretty full. Teenagers aren't priced out of the stadiums so you see many young people too, which is vital for long-term, obviously. When I visited my friend in Solingen, I bought a ticket for the Köln-Ingolstadt match. I think it was 20 euros for a seat, 10 for a standing place where the ultas are. Even though it was an early Saturday match, 13:30 kickoff, no derby, no history between them, it was still full house, 50 thousand with a beer in hand.

you deffo should give it a go if you got free time. Its probably best and atleast 2nd division with most big and traditional clubs of all. Literally all fans are mad and every game got insane atmosphere, better than almost all 1st division game atmospheres anywhere. I mean look at who is there-HSV,Bremen,Schalke,Nurnberg,Hansa Rostock and Dynamo Dresden now too,all big traditional teams with insane atmosphere. And football there of course is usually great teams attack and games are interesting af, which is why if you see promoted team getting points from big teams in BL wont surprise you. For example Arminia Bielefeld going to Munich and scoring 3 goals and taking 3-3 draw(wouldve even maybe won if not for "offside" which was given against their favour), or Paderborn 3-3 away vs BVB and stuff like that-you get my point

Of course, to each their own, but I'm just not enjoying these videos because even though entertainment value is important, if barely anything meaningful comes out of them, it kinda defeats the purpose of the video. Maybe consider adding 15-25% to the estimated time required to cover the talking points. It will allow time for the banter but also, importantly, the actual content.
