European Super League RANT | The GREED Explained (The END of Football?) 

The model is not bad apart from no regulation .if you can't go down or out of the league then it's awful. It's a better champions league in my opinion , and I love the idea you can have best clubs from around the world playing against eachother but with regulation and stuff it's pointless

this is literally based on euroleague basketball btw

@@ricardobenavides9852 Only Slavs, Turks and Germans give a single shit about Euroleague Basketball lmao, of course it'll fail.

Germany as a whole hates that shit. Fans first, fuck capitalism

*_doubt_*

Tbh they would join but the 50+1 rule exists and it stops them.

It's because they aren't in financial ruins And farming the absouloute shit of the bundesliga And performing well in every ucl Not because they care about the fans

@rzf_1.8 winning the bundesliga like almost every year or getting 2nd due to being just too good Or playing around shitty clubs Or worst case scenario buying every talent in the league

Money

I searched it up and it said 3,5 billion people consider themselves football fans This has nothing to do with the super League but i wanted to make this comment because you seem to doubt the size of football

@@Geographyandhistory2024 I find those figures to be somewhat dodgy and implausible though, given the 7.9 billion population of the entire Earth. I come from Scotland, where football is more popular per head of population, than in just about every other country, despite its relatively weak league and the Scottish international team not exactly being that hot. Frequently more people per head of population attend top flight football matches in Scotland, than in any other European country. In 2018, for instance, the average for the Scottish Premiership was 15,973, compared to 24,738 for Serie A. Considering Italy has a population of 58.9 million (compared to the 5.5 million of Scotland!), if football was as popular there, then in proportion to the Scottish Premiership, Serie A should be averaging over 160,000. (I know that's not quite comparing like with like, as the Scottish Premiership has 12 clubs and Serie A, 20, however even taking that into account, it appears that Scotland has many more dedicated fans per head of population, than the likes of Italy!) The point I have rather long windedly being trying to make? Around 50% of the males I know have no, or at best just a casual interest in football, despite its' huge popularity in Scotland, and I would say that only around 5% or less of the women I know are football fans. I also have friends and have worked beside several people from the US, and none of them was/is a football fan (not of "real" football anyway!) I worked beside several people from India also, who were all far more into cricket than football. (Hardly a scientific study, I am first to admit!) Overall though, of the people I know from out with the UK originally, some are football fans, but I cannot think of one of them who supports one of the ESL clubs. Of the English fans I know, only around 30% support ESL clubs and EVERY football fan I know, no matter who they support who has expressed an opinion on the subject to me anyway, hates the whole idea of the Super League and has said they will boycott it if it ever happens! Basically, even if there are 3.5 billion football fans (which I very much doubt, certainly not 3.5 billion dedicated ones!), that would still make the 4 billion claims Perez made nonsense, as 3.5 billion is less than 4 billion and, as I've said, huge numbers of people will not watch the European Shit League, if it ever happens. In fact here's a link about the viewership of the Champions League Final in 2021. Yes, it's true that it just had clubs from one country playing in it, but even in the UK it was estimated that 8.7 million, out of a population of 68 million watched the Final. I certainly did not, as I do not support either club who was in the Final and I can assure you that I will NEVER watch the ESL, if it ever happens! However, if there is such a massive proportion of football fans, then why did such a small proportion of the population of the country of the two clubs playing in basically the biggest club match in World football watch the Final? www.sportingnews.com/uk/soccer/news/champions-league-super-bowl-bigger-uefa-nfl-global-viewers/d67xqpeols0etr6ugho173ha

Absolutely correct! And of the 7.9 billion people who do live upon Earth (and I am fully aware that most ESL supporters do indeed seem to reside on another planet, and are totally detached from reality!), some of those are babies and toddlers, some of those are from high population countries where the vast majority are not football fans, such as India and the USA and some are from tribal societies, where the basic struggle for survival is far more important than watching a group of spoilt brat, millionaire, prima donnas, prancing about on a patch of grass, when they themselves may be struggling to feed themselves!

Football is the most leftist sport anyway

Politics and football mixing is inevitable so we might as well mix them properly

@@Alex-mq6qi agreed! keep the far right away from our football

@@jord.an6123 at this point it's more "kick them out" than "keep them out" unfortunately lol

@@Alex-mq6qi lmao youre not wrong there buddy :)

I mean theyre already doing that...

@@9NineVolt They don't fly to another country every single week

@@Zack_410 In the champions league? Well of course not every week but twice a month back and forth isn't the most environmentally friendly thing to do either, don't forget a country can't have 2 teams in the same group so it lowers the chances of bus trips as well

Doesn’t RB Leipzig throw that in the bin tho?

@@Bregott07don’t worry most of the comments are over emotional and none fact options for people who take football way too seriously. It sometimes scares me that these are adult talking

​@@yorkshirelad346what are you yapping about

The fact that people don’t see this, upsets me

The funny thing is that leagues like premier league were against this only because they are scared of their money output down and their own greed. Not giving freedom to the clubs is tyrant behavior because these leagues want money and know without them their executives would not make as much money. So everyone is saying the league is happening only because of greed when actually every other league is against it because of their own greed for money. I think super league should have happened

@@wingedhussar1453 How about you stayed silenced, ya know? If the Super League happened, we would have a competition where "the best of the best" go against one another and are not able to be relegated, but no! Its okay because they invite some other teams, right? You're pathetic 😂

@@zeusadolphus1638 the leagues like premier only want to keep money for themselves.its not about competition at all .if it was about competition they would let the super league happen

No Arsenal? No Liverpool? No Real or barca?

@@123dan165 To the average guy, I’m pretty sure they’re an afterthought

@@pilothaha I see.

If you don't follow the sport, people only know Man U over here because of Beckham. (Unless you're hispanic, then it's Barca and Real for obvious reasons) I think my sister even had a Man U jersey back in like 2005 and I guarantee she couldn't name another team 😂😂😂.

It's way better then champions league .this should have happened.you have alot of teams dominate every year in their season while this super league would be the best .although with regulation and ways to get in this league it's a bad idea.there has to be a way to get releagated every year

Super league is a shit idea.

How can smaller teams seek continuous success when they don’t have the money? What a stupid argument

HE SAID IT TWICE, TWICE, TWIIIIIICE

How is it they literally said themselves they don't care about the game and that it's a secondary concern

It's actually opposite.money was the only reason the leagues were against the super league.the leagues own greed was only motivation against this happening.the clubs wanted their own freedom and that's fine let them do it. Yet the leagues didn't want to lose their money makers .don't let the leagues lie to you that it was because it doesn't give competition it absolutely does .

@@wingedhussar1453 so you'd sacrifice history just cos of the leagues being scared wow so football fan you are go watch tennis pal

You trying to say something about the Argentina kit? 🤣

Same too many teams are stagnant in current format

​@dazzag371 and your solution is...a closed system for only a select few clubs and ONLY for them?

Don’t watch football if you think the ESL was a good idea it would ruin competition in the sport. There will be no excitement when teams play each other no upsets no drama no rivalries. All the fundamental elements that make up football identity would be gone. The ESL is a horribly Americanised franchise tournament that would kill what football is based on.

I would ask more why Arsenal is here

@@kxk_77 History

@@liquid_brew2110 no. Money

Oh and I wonder why they were probably cos of there shit owners you the type of person that they got some stupid and no uefa and cefrin aren't good but perez and the other shit bags are worse

Fucking idiot pls do not watch this sport again cos youre not a true fan

West Ham are higher in the prem than Arsenal and Man U lol

Yea super league was a great concept ,but only if they added a way to get in with regulations and I think if super league had passed and came to happen overtime the leagues would bow and work with the super league to add regulation.the leagues are just scared to miss their best teams and lose money and that's it but in reality this is what football needs you can't have Bayern destorying competition and top teams destorying their leagues.if the leagues overtime with this super league let one of their top team into it then it would work unfortunately it didn't pass and guess the reason?leagues own greed .they knew their own financials would go under

Well those teams believe it or not have more loyal fans than the plastic that supports a super league concept.

@@josesaenz5403 nope. Shitty argument. Real Madrid is literally owned by the fans.

@@NomaHirudo are you mentally ill? The real fans don’t want any part of a super league. Why do you think a lot of fans that actually go to stadiums were furious. But yea keep saying it’s a shitty argument. Only plástics wanna see something like that come to fruition.

It would have killed competition in football. The justification for the super league would be so that you get higher quality games against the biggest clubs. Yet these clubs are fixed so there is no reward for placing well in the league and other smaller clubs have no incentive to play well. Also there would be no excitement anymore when two big clubs play against each other. It would harm domestic leagues and other leagues that don’t have access to the Super League. It was greed by these large clubs to get out of a financial situation that was caused by themselves. Both FIFA and UEFA are corrupt as anyone but they know one thing and that is competition and accessibility for all. If you play well you deserve it.

Maqwell gave 3 great explanations in these videos and there is plenty other videos which shows what’s wrong with the ESL. If you believed it was a good idea please stop watching football.

@@robbielea1107 i personally watch football for the big games tbh. I never watch the small teams like ever. I feel bad for the small teams but they had 100 years to become the best yet they never did. I do agree that man city and PSG should not be included in the ESL because they have no history id rather have Nottingham forrest than man city

@@robbielea1107 thank you for the explanation btw

It's not diluting the message it is part of the message. You would really benefit by listening to what people say instead of just looking for biases to call out as if that means anything. He's making an opinion piece; the entire point of this to get his bias.
