And you believe that MEGA-TEAM won't get bailed out? Because otherwise bloated corpse of MEGA-TEAM will smother football as we know it?


What do you mean bailed-out?

The whole point of competitive sports is for there to be, well, meaningful competition. All the money in that industry only exists if there's meaningful chances for either team to win. Winning too hard is a detriment to the winner.

That is incredibly different from capitalism, where the whole point of it is for one of the participants to win the competition, to the deteriment of the rest of us, which is why society comes up with elaborate rules for preventing that.
