How American Money Controls European Football 

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.

+1

Succinctly put

this is a general problem with the global economy: fewer and fewer people control more and more of the economy, to the detriment of everyone except the rich - blame capitalism

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

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

@@JP-je6jgYup, having a monopoly on the viewership also helps a lot.

F the American money hungry way.

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. During games half-screen ads 5. TV networks advertising their programme throughout the 90 minutes. It's literally the way entertainment monetizes through selling ad space

@@_orodrigofernandes and even with all that it's nearly not enough to keep up with NFL and NBA.

Shit had me dead 😂😂

Did KM dirty 😂

Content is so much important, American Thing's are overrated, overpriced yet best in rigging NFL, NBA

Lies again? AIA Money USD SGD

🤣🤣🤣🤣

American owners haven’t gotten to Germany yet probably for this reason.

No Chance for them how it looks is heavy to get Bundesliga ​@@gbalph4

germans always put culture and humanity above business 👏

Wait for next week's video 🤫

The new sponsorship created a little crisis here in Germany.

​@@DrQualleFickmann understandably

what?

@@laujack24 WHAT?

Even the worst American Pro teams are still profitable

​@@youcantalwaysgetwhatyouwan6687 because leagues in the US are set up as businesses. Teams in the US are treated like billionaire's playthings. Changes are made depending on what will benefit the owners most. I mean ffs, in the NFL, the owners lift the Superbowl trophy, like wtf is that about?

@@JP-je6jg Well. It proves to be effective right? USA Sports Leagues are out earning the Big 5 Football Leagues because of 1.) No relegation and No Promotion (aka. Closed Leagues) Investors and fans are confident that their horrible teams can compete again within 3 years 2.) Salary Caps, Wealthy teams can't spend too much money on top Players, The best players will sign in struggling US Team but a top football players like Kylian Mbappe will never sign a struggling football team, imagine you're a world class player and you might end up playing in 2nd division 3.) the Leagues scouts the young talents, not the Teams 4.) Top Young Talents went to the horrible teams, in Europe. Young African and Latin American talents will always went to top teams in Europe

​@@youcantalwaysgetwhatyouwan6687no promotion or relegation, wheres the fun

@@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! 😁.

Football is the best and the most entertaining sport in the world ⚽️ ❤

Could say the same about basketball?

​@@chris.48 basketball you need a hoop though. Not everyone can afford. In football you can use a pair of socks as a goalpost if you're that poor and lacking. This simplicity is why it's the most popular sport

@@chris.48 basketball is limited because you have to be a giant to compete , not in football

@@denzela5539 true I guess. But you can play basketball with hoops 🤣🤣(jk lol)

ING of the Netherlands too.

@@victorsamsung2921 good shout

Basically private equity farms

What are you talking about and how could this be explained?can someone please explain

I'm really confused, especially in market analysis, how are people using trading with them?

Trading with an expert is really beneficial. This will help you not to lose your money in the trading market.

How does this crypto stuff really works and how do I make I make good profit from it? I'm willing to invest in it but I need guidance so I don't lose out

Do you have any idea of any good broker/trader I can start with that's trust worthy?

Really glad you enjoyed it 🤝

Barcelona and Real Madrid are majority owned by their fans. So that doesn’t help your statement

@@letsdoitforjohnny5066 It does, actually. Although I did not necessarily mean the socios model either.

@JG-MV it's not about how much money they have, it's about who gets to decide.

No

I couldn’t agree more. But now everything is ruined with capitalism . No more honor

That's very generous, thank you! 🙏

Thanks a lot! 😀

Thanks! That's always the aim! 🙂

I disagree. Not so indepth... he just said JPM before anything negative

You're very welcome! 😀

Thanks for being with us! 🙂

They should keep American investors away otherwise they will bring ton of commercials, fat burgers and God's know what! Sports culture would be gone!

​@ussamanayyer1904 these clubs will go bankrupt without capital injection

@@ussamanayyer1904There banks from all over the world getting involved in football not just the US lmao

i mean, psg as of now is dominating ligue 1, something that didnt happen 15 years ago and yeah united is a failure but you are thinking like a fish with the chelsea example. Chelsea is not gonna do well next year but what about 5 years from now? what about 10? its all for the future, get the best young talents and build for the future, as of now is a failure but thats because the plan they have is not short term.

@@Losabias111 Chelsea is set for FFP punishment on June 30th which will degrade them more. Dominating Ligue 1 is completely insignificant. Even Lyon dominated better than PSG without big money.

@@spark556 Damn, no offense but your view of it is very narrow, psg were nothing on ligue 1 15 years ago, now the goal is the ucl and think about it, they have been improving from time to time, 10 years ago they wouldnt even get past quarter finals, as of now they have reached a final, something that would have never happened without their oil money, did they win the ucl? no, are they in a better position to do so? YES, thats kinda the whole point. And the Chelsea thing wont affect them as much, they already bought several players and considering they will prolly go for Osimehn its not a big deal.

@@Losabias111thank you for this, the guy doesn’t have a clue

big money means big players , big coaches , big stadium etc means succes , PSG reaching UCL final , dominating ligue 1

Must be in the post ✉️ 😄

Really glad you thought so! 🫡

How is that contradicting ?

Thank YOU 😉

Not Leverkusen being 100% owned by Bayer, one of the biggest Pharmacutical companys in the world.

Bayer balanced out all the losses Leverkusen made during the corona pandemic wich is a clear advantage compared to clubs without owners. For example FC Köln was a financially stable club with a equity of 38 million € before the pandemic, but after they were broke with a equity of only 3 million € and they got relegated this season.

Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂

Great comment 😉

You couldn't be more wrong, it's at an all time peak, as it has been every year for the last 200 years and will for the next 200

America likes soccer now. In a sense we have culturally exchanged games, our sports have made it to Europe and vice versa.

Thank you! 😉

Crazy good. That guy is a major sellout

Thanks, Mario! 😉

Or....don't do that. And keep european football the way it was.

Yeah wait for the American banks to tell you how undervalued it is and why they need to f*ck it up

Well the champions League is UEFA, but they are just as bad. It defo could. The premier League tried to play a 39th game a season around the world in the late 00's. It didn't go down well with fans, players or associated people. I think most average European fans are just resistant to this constant need to make money. Fans do not want an American or Saudi or whatever final.

Relevant Sports group sued USSF (United States Soccer Federation), and FIFA on the grounds they refused to allow a foreign league cup match in the US. The courts agreed with them. Part of the agreement is FIFA would be left out of the case against USSF. With that happening you might get to see US hosting foreign league matches and FIFA won’t intervene.

An American champions league final would be the biggest one in history

@@Christianreacts yes because us Europeans really do struggle to host the world's biggest annual sports match.

Maybe yes but football has many interruptions where there's time for advertisements. The super bowl also goes longer (average 3h 12m) This extra ad time makes it more valuable for people buying the rights. There's about 50 minutes alone for advertisements.

@@beimircc6434 The same people playing FUT and buying tons of merchandise are the same people who complain about the monetization of the game.

I agree, the TV numbers are definitely blown out of proportion. Here in Spain, to watch all of the football is so so expensive, so most of the people i know watch football through other page, VPN, etc. Yet, every year the TV ratings for football are....better? how is this even possibe? anyways, in Spain there is a way that they kind of fake ratings which is that the TV channels consider for every device that is tuned in to their channel (every TV in each home) there are 4 people watching, which is not true, sometimes is just 1 person, or 2 or 3 or hell maybe there is 8 people, but you can see how this numbers are completely not representative of the real ratings.

I know in the EU there are competition laws. At some point these banks and investment groups would surely breach those rules as they own parts of so many businesses

PSG 🤡🤡

An Chelsea 😂😂
