I love how local and lower level football really does answer nearly all of everyone's concerns but they'd rather pretend the Prem was the only football league on Earth and they're forced to put up with it. Absolutely self-inflicted.
The thing is the drop in talent and quality is significant. People want to watch the best players and teams playing at an elite level
Eh, high quality football is also “””boring””” and data driven. So many cool football moves are as good as outlawed. You don’t need to look further than classic nr. 10 being a dying breed, replaced by players best described as ‘pressing machines’.
Much bigger problem/reason is that lower leagues aren’t media talking points(let’s face it, sports are men’s reality TV shows), finding a broadcast is hard, etc. It’s just much harder to get into if you aren’t local.
The Championship is a superb league. The quality might not be as good in terms of talent compared to the PL, but it is far more entertaining.
Defending American billionaires lol. Why do we do this lol, we are such capitalist dickriders
Don’t worry, I think football was ruined well before Abramovich.
I just want to see fun competition. Eredivisie is high enough a level for me.
I do recognize I'm in the minority, though.
