European football a landscape where big clubs can fall into oblivion left to linger in the bottom divisions think of Keizer Sultan from german champions to the 3rd division all humble european champions in 1903 and theyre stuck in the 2nd tier its a dog dog world capitalism at its finest. Whereas the United States it doesnt matter how bad your team plays bluenose theyll always be guaranteed a prime time spot. At leeds united theyve been playing well and truly big fans of the 2 white 16 years for a turn to the top but in us courts they look after their own in the us the n. B. A. In the n. F. L. Have a salary cap revenue sharing and even a draft system sounds almost like socialism. Hang on this is the champion of the free market economy surely they dont have socialist ideology leading their sports or do that lets check it out. First on the list us sports share their revenue. But tell us cowboys are the most valuable franchise in the n. F. L. They regularly draw the biggest t. V. Ratings and sell the most tickets but i havent won a super bowl since 996. In the n. B. A. The same can be said of the New York Knicks who ever try. Stretching back to 1973. He can generate about the revenue. He revenue because much of the. Equally competing t. V. Broadcast deals Merchandise Sales its all thrown into one pot and shared evenly thats why a thing like the Green Bay Packers which only has a population of about 100000 people can compete on a similar point in actual standing as a train like the new york jets to get things are effectively handing over cash to smaller markets in order to maintain an equal Playing Field often to their own detriment. In europe on the other hand clubs hold on to most of their catch. The Top Performing clubs in europe dont give out any handouts and their success is typically rewarded with the largest share of broadcast revenues in spain around the driven past alone a collectively receive about 24 percent of the leagues t. V. Money a club at the bottom and can receive as little as 3 percent. Its similar in the Champions League a large chunk of the 2000000000 euro prize pool is dished out to clubs based on past performances that means newcomers receive far less cash so despite both teams making it to the quarterfinals barcelona received 32000000 euros more than atalanta. 2 you know you knew. He would put. That level. To some of the very elite in the microscope. The level of revenue sharing seen in the u. S. Looks like a mere fantasy for their Cross Atlantic neighbors. And european football sharing revenue evenly is too much of a risk to the status quo thats largely down to the threat of relegation the n. F. L. And. N. B. A. Franchises they dont have to worry about dropping out of the Big Money Club because their status is protected. Then theres the salary cap in u. S. Sports. Further leveling the Playing Field in the us is a limit on play a wager each team Salary Budget is about 50 percent of their revenue share teams can under spend all over spend the Denver Broncos were handed one point 9000000. 00 in fines to a series of violations in the 90 nineties and they want to. Be a system is a little more forgiving the Golden State Warriors for instance have been charged additional costs known as a luxury tax overspending. The rich are certainly punished if they try to flex their financial muscle in any other section of American Society that would be frowned upon communism they scream meanwhile in european football theyre following that kill killed capitalist mantra. In comparison to the us europe lets the market run wild. There are no mechanisms to control labor costs in european football top clubs can spend as much cash on players as they want. 367000000 euros on neymar and they could buy 70 private islands in the bahamas the. Cash buys you titles which in turn gets you more cash and the cycle continues thats one reason were seeing more teams winning consecutive championships such as events in italy by and in germany scotland. In croatia but periods of dominance have always existed according to Steffen Schmidt only used. In very. Very low level well that would be. A great point but this is entirely as the gap in europe widens basically any team in the n. F. L. Or n. B. A. Can realistically win the title and the even rewarded for their mediocrity its what critics of socialism hate the most but its happening right in front of their noses and its working. The final piece in the socialist puzzle. The labor pool is highly regulated in the n. F. L. And n. B. A. Through their draft systems plays a distributed according to which franchise is in the greatest need. To each according to needs from each according to our is not really. America and that seems to be. The organizing principle of the legally at least insofar as we heard only that each teach you something. Needs to be good. So the worst teams are awarded the highest picks and successful teams are punished with lower picks. Its Robin Hood Esque take from the rich and give to the poor socialism one o one Republican Voters must be livid right well not exactly because the system allows for a much more even competition meaning the spectacle is overall more exciting but. Instead of a draft system europe has a free for all. In european football they are absolutely no mechanisms in place to control the flow of labor teams complacently spend whatever they want and even pointed to a pair of play has failed to really stop them. In recent years p. S. G. A Manchester City have bought their way to the top thanks to middle east investment if you have money you can just buy your way. To a few titles less of the Champions League of course. Extremely reluctant. To engage in any kind of equalization completely local because the way they insulate themselves from the threat of relegation is by the. Deal much he. Lets get real despite the socialist ideals within us sports the sum of its parts from marxist ideology the n. F. L. And n. B. A. Other richest leagues in the world its players some of the best paid every franchise is constantly getting richer. In 2008 stephen ross sport the Miami Dolphins for 1100000000. 00 the franchise is now valued at twice that amount Donald Sterling bought the l. A. Clippers for 12500000. 00 in the 1980 s. He sold up in 2014 for a healthy 2000000000. 00. This is capitalism on steroids you cant put lipstick on a pig the owners are purely driven by profits how else can they justify charging fans on average between 150. 00 and 500. 00 per match day tickets in comparison european clubs a lucky break even the corona pandemic has laid bare how precariously close to the edge many clubs in europe operate. In the last decade proud clubs have been forced into administration from Glasgow Rangers in 2012 to portsmouth twice in 2 years and others are sure to follow in light of the coronavirus but stephan says that simply the nature of your pain footballs capitalist system. Going bankrupt is not actually a problem. Its not its actually a consequence of the system. This is where the differences between us sports and european football become clearer. Just as u. S. Sports are very unlikely to introduce anything like promotion and relegation its also difficult to see european football introducing
