Of course Lord of the Fags had to start a faggot thread about a faggot sport, like anyone but him gives a flying fuck about the "footballers" on his faggot side of the Atlantic.

By 2045 football with topple all other sports in the US. There will be no stopping the greatest sport on earth.
By 2060 rugby will be the second most popular sport in the US.
By 2065 MLB will be seen for what it is. The sport will be mostly dominated by schoolgirls and transgenders.
Not even trolling.
THIS IS AMERICA MORON, WERE INSANE. Do u think we're ever gonna like this 1-0 shit??
At $263 million, Neymar's value is $119 million higher than Cleveland Cavaliers' team payroll for the next season (most expensive in NBA), $84 million higher than Washington Redskins' payroll (most expensive in NFL) and higher than the GDPs of Marshall Islands, Kiribati and Tuvalu
$263m might get you one of the warm weather NHL teams. If the $600m total price tag is taken into account, the deal is worth more than over 2/3 of all NHL teams, pretty much everything that isn't one of the original 6, Philly, or Vancouver.
I kind of like the European football version of player development and transfer fees. I also like the relegation process. I'd kind of like to see the transfer fee ideal incorporated into MLB, but it will never happen. It would allow small market teams to focus on drafting and development, and if you must lose a free agent to a big market club, get a huge financial reward rather than a number of speculative minor leaguers.
In the end though, it still really doesn't work out that well as Leicester City stories are even rarer in soccer than American sports. It has allowed a team like Tottenham to set themselves up well for the future and pay for a new stadium, retain latest stars, etc., but it's still the same blue bloods every year. It's not like the teams always reinvest the money, and it doesn't seem the fans ever benefit all that much from a huge transfer fee. Like if baseball did it, it would be wonderful if your team snagged $100m when losing a player, but only if they spent it on other players or lowered ticket prices. But they are basically never going to do that, thus it would just be a bunch of already rich guys simply becoming more profitable by spending half and sticking the other half in their bank account.
I'd like to see relegation in college football. Conferences sharing revenue only for bottom feeders to never spend it is kind of pathetic. It will never happen though because of tradition and schedules being set up years in advance.
There's like a perfect system in there somewhere that blends the best parts of both, but neither continent has quite managed it.
