Trouble is football is a victim of its own success.
Powers that be realised years ago no other sport in history can provide such drama for so many... So it was organised to make millions with... But then who should reap benefits... Well the protagonists of course... So wages spiral, attracts more talent and in no time at all Football is the Global sport... Attracting most talented sports people and generating biggest revenue.
Go to any European, British, African or South American country and cream of talent... Plays football. Yep, all the rugby players out there will disagree but they are wrong. If a kid is talented, can run, has good coordination, good hand eye skills etc etc he/she plays football in 95% of cases. . It's just how it is.
Folk might not like it but Football attracts more people to it, provides more entertainment and employment than any other sport in history. No comparison. Look at premiere league attendences.. MUFC average 70,000 every other week. (pre covid)
That simply dwarfs any rock band, entertainer or singer... And that's before television is mentioned.
And its for a reason. Drama. Nothing else compares.
So, with such a massive business model who should benefit? The owners? Television? Players?
Yep, it's a sad reflection not on football but on our society when we will soon be seeing a player earning 1 million pounds per week. How much is Elton John worth? Lewis Hamilton?
Unfortunately this super league is purely an extension of all this. Hopefully it will fail but when JP Morgan offers Gary Neville a few million quid to commentate I wonder if he will change his mind.??
