Middle Eastern billionaires are always going to be rich, who cares if pro athletes maximize their own value while they can
It's their lives
Unless they’re taking money directly from you it shouldn’t matter how much they win
Qatar shouldn't have ever had the world cup. Fifa's greed and willingness to overlook the sins of Qatar is damning enough for me that if I even had interest in soccer, Id pass watching. Bad enough that I watch the nfl
There are approximately zero billionaires who got as rich as they are now without doing something shady in their lives/careers, no point in grandstanding that pro athletes sell their talents to the highest bidder
"Oh I can't believe so-and-so player agreed to sign with so and so group, they're run by monsters"
Facts
Definitely can find something sketchy about all of them
And tbh countries also
Lebron James is a billionaire too is it because he has shoe brand?
Like I could if I tried drag out a list of atrocities Canada or the us has committed
He's not
There’s really no point lmao
That in combination with how long he's played and all of the numerous endorsements he's had and currently still has
Canadian mining companies are horrible from personal experience what about that. Every country has their shady side, sure Qatar is on another level with how they built the World Cup but it’s not like we’re saints
Yeah he’s rich
Yup
Facts yeah
The oil industry isn’t great either
We really gonna do whataboutism rn
Or that every country has done shitty things lol
Again, we can all point middle fingers at shady individuals/groups. Makes 0 difference
Ohhh
Yeah exactly
I think Imma take a break from online today
Definitely
Is Jordan the sole owner of his nba team
Good thing the leafs don’t play today
Would Lebron have enough to buy a team
Ok maybe not the channel to talk about oil industry, I didn’t want to start that conversation my bad
Buy a large share sure
Probably not
Like yes hypothetically he can buy a majority stake with other investors
You’ll be back tomorrow?
Sabres game
Bron gonna own a Vegas team just watch
Tbh I just wanted to know why basketballers have more money than soccer players and then y’all fighting now
NBA should just expand to 32 teams already
“No this is not right, this is right”
Lol, most definitely not.
Suns are the latest team to be sold, went for over 4 billion
he'd probably have to co-own it with someone else
Lebron selling his whole life away for a 25% stake
but yeah no way he'd buy a team tbh
I’d do it
yea, my knicks however are still pretty bad
it really just comes down to more revenue, more games being played, smaller roster size and yeah. The average NBA player probably does earn more than the average Footy player.
perfect answer.
Thank you for response! More games must be fun tho
And easy way to become a billionaire
Yeah, but I never heard them getting any injuries tho
My Bills vs the Bengal's will be awesome
NBA has a 9.5 B revenue compared to the prem which is at 6.5B revenue
Feel like back to back games shouldn’t happen
I will be disappointed if the Giants lose lmao
Close than I expected tbh
Thought it would be half
NFL is at 17 B
Considering how there’s probably like 5 prem teams that could talk to nba teams in terms of value
38 games in the prem, no idea how many in nba but I think a lot more. That explains the difference
82
NBA is 82 like NHL
Is it 82 plus playoffs?
yuh
Jesus that’s so much
which is why they are amazing
La Liga is 3.4 B
Thought it would be even less
2.3
It’s like they’re stuck in 2005
I wonder if the super league would hit 17b
I’d rather not know
How longs the season
But do they run?
I genuinely think it would compete with it
Uhh technically yeah lol
best teams all in 1 league

You’d run between bases
I think it would take 5-10 years
Nba and nhl could be half as long tbh
NBA should be 56 IMO
don florentino perez has something for me
Let’s just keep things like they are now and not think about super league
let's have a super league but chelsea gets first dibs at talent
So basically how it is right now
How much is the champions league?
revenue wise?
Todd Boehly about to hit 500m in spend
yep but publicly stated so we get no subversive acts
also just give us gakpo
I respect Boehly tbh
Guys just having fun
Throwing money at anything
No planning at all
3 billion
revenue from last season
mb 20-21
With all the international competitions and cups, it’s difficult to get 1 league with massive income but all together you can be around the top American leagues
the NFL is really wild in that respect
they are a money making league
the whole sport is like, made to make money
even the style of play with constant breaks for commercials
it's crazy they have a 17b revenue with like what 20 games?
17 in the regular season + like 4 in the playoffs
I see
And then the SB is almost always the single most watched thing every year
yeah fosho, it's p much a holiday here at this point
Yeah it’s a big marketing event
Believe they attempted that with the Super League with results being what they were
People getting all up in a tizzy
Thank god it didn’t happen, so many losses if that happened
I imagine something like could potentially work, but I think you'd have to make completely new clubs
Maybe have a set salary cap, have to spend a certain amount each year
You can make it happen, but you would have to kill a lot of clubs by doing so. All the mid clubs with big stadiums would die
It would boost the big clubs by a lot and turn the little clubs into basically academies
Wouldn't hurt, could basically be like a farm system in MLB
Call guys up to the main roster when you need them or think they're ready
But are Farm clubs big?
Probably not
I wouldn’t see everton surviving a super league, what they get goodison park to be Liverpool’s reserves
What do you do with all those massive stadiums
Turn them into homeless shelters? 
give it a couple years
They’re already homeless don’t send them to goodison park
it'll probably happen
Don’t lose faith mala
huh
Keep the good values alive
I'm pro Super league friendo.

Yeah
huh, interesting
Have everyone play under a hard or soft salary cap
Sign individual players
Build it up
sounds too good to be true
Only start with a few clubs, if it takes off slowly expand
Maybe update the rules to make it a pinch more offensive driven
Goal oriented I mean
Make a selling point that games will never end in ties
the pitch is oversized
I’d rather have competitions with more clubs, more inclusive from more places, give everyone a chance and not only have 20 clubs taking everything from every other club. Maybe it’s an utopia but it’s what I would want to see
thats fine
Just invent another sport at that point
the sport will always evolve so who knows what footy will be like 20 years from now
Don’t take clean sheets away from football
No one wants to see a game end in a tie
honestly ties don't bug me that much but I get it
How anyone could enjoy spending 3+ hours to watch something end 0-0 is beyond me
no
I dont enjoy 0-0 games
I like not having ties, just do a deciding penalties at the end. But don’t have more offense, defenders are already falling behind right now
This is the funniest thing I have seen football wise for a while
I’d rather win 1-0 than 10-1
you're nuts
You get a clean sheet I’m happy
Did he really say that?
I’m a clean sheet merchant
it's fake lol
Yeah it had to be
So out of pocket for Jeudy to just randomly toss his QB under the bus
Its still funny
It is

Know Sherman would say worse
you kill me
Every major team sporting league has tweaked their rules to allow more scoring in recent years to great success
People like seeing scores
It almost killed me
more scoring is fun
Indeed
I do like cleansheets when my team does it but as a neutral more chaotic games are better.
They prefer offense over defense
Conceding pisses me off
Soccer seems to be the only sport falling behind in that regard
It’s not falling behind
Golf 
You would 1000% increase viewership if you shrunk the pitch a bit and focused more of having points be scored
Golf is just boring in general
I like golf
rather play than watch
Cause that's literally what we've seen from every other major sporting league that has done that
Yes scores can get ridiculous, people seemingly like ridiculous
you watch it ?
Only sport with big points I enjoy is snooker and I like clearances
There’s already futsal for that and not many people watch it
Fun to play but never really watched
shrink it by like 10 meters each side
I know they do but it doesn’t mean it should be the case. Sure brings more money, but takes away from the quality of the game. I don’t mind if some teams like to go forward, but I think playing defensive is as valuable and respectable as approach and it’s the way I play my games. Like I said I’m a defensive right back since I was a child and don’t like conceding goals. It pisses me off. I’ve quited fifa games after conceding goals, I can’t change who I am
Teams have a range to build their stadiums. New York team has a smaller pitch, it’s not a fixed number. Different sizes affects strategy
That’s just killing the keeper
I’m pretty sure you can already adjust pitch width
you can
You can and length
I meant length lol
Not sure about goal size
10 v 10 🤔
When wenger built the emirates he gave them the perfect size for a pitch
Please mala 
it's whatever it probably won't happen anyways
just need a super league and I'm good.
Just have a futsal super league
I meant internationally, football has a very small fan base outside of the US
Oh
I mean NFL is increasing in world wide popularity
They just did 5 international games in the UK, Mexico, and Germany. All of them sold out
tbf
And people have been probing for the possibility of a Europe team for years
from friends in london, nobody cares about the NFL
Oh thought you meant American football lol
they just see it as a spectacle like a travelling circus
Still can't mentally process this
there was a german nfl league for a bit
NFL Europe could eventually come back
but it sort of flamed out
I just think like... football isn't exactly a sustainable model
Man passed his prime is making 70+ million a year
Good for him
Spain will probably host some NFL games in future I guess
I feel like there's no point, those countries are so focused on other sports that American football there would be poorly developed
I mean rest of world plays rugby

mexico could get an NFL team, but the constraint is logistics
Spain would be fun
A Mexican NFL team would be sick
I'm surpised there's no Canadian team
Hopefully 1 day
Bills are pretty much Canada's unofficial team
What with them being so close to Toronto
canada has the CFL so it's a bit redundant
I mean Canada has MLS teams
MLS is a joke though
they didn't have a soccer league until recently though
Europeans are pretty traditional about their sports, I don’t think an nfl type game would work there
the CFL has been around for a while in canada
Wait MLS is older than CPL unless there was a league before that
Yea
France already have strong rugby presence so nfl won't work there
the CPL is like 5 years old and not very popular
MLS is like 30 years old
It's getting a lot better especially with European players coming here
honestly it wasn't even a real league in its first 10 years
it was do some weird stuff back then lmao
I don’t know about the rest of the league but the Montreal football club has been going backwards for some time
We used to get real players
you mean like players from Europe?
hard for the MLS to compete with Europe when all the best talents and players go to play there... and it makes sense, footy originated there, leagues and clubs over 100 years old. You'll also get paid better than MLS clubs pay their players etc...
Yeah we got the likes of Drogba, nesta, di vaio, ciman
Now our best player is from Honduras
it was cool when Theirry Henry was in the league
Less cool when he was our manager 
What’s with Graham potter and lacaca
Pretty funny stuff
I think it’s the whole year as game
But I Think they'd rather get the time like in the UK
Yeah
And the 2nd halif is
2023
Ohhhh maybe thats what it is
Lmao
1st half is
What happened
2nd half is a prediction
Wenger in

He said he would consider it a few years back
International football is better for him as an older coach
Since he left us
Let's let the man rest with his accolades
I mean isco flourished for him and he played the same role
Isco wasn’t a 10
Also we got to see the emergence of casemiro

He was a 10
Never really played the 10 role
Playstyle wise at least
He was mostly on the wings
James was thrown to the reserve squad. He didn’t get any playing time under him. Not playing then is what broke his body and now he’s stuck in Greece
This Wyo game is going into overtime
People are going to be more active tomorrow
With the CFP
This games just been crazy
It wouldn't have gone into overtime bc Ohio kicked and missed big time. But right when they went to kick UW called a timeout. So they Ohio got to redo their kick and made it. So fml
Also the barstool sports commentators are hilarious 😂 one of them became a Cowboys fan during the game it's hilarious
MOTHER FUCK!!!!!

J I and xfdyrsg42qo6c58
Fml fml fml
Well it sucks Wyoming lost but it was a really good game
Some funny kind of coincidence that Clemson and Tennessee, 2 teams that wear orange as their main color, would end up facing off in the Orange Bowl
How is that game going?
Meh
Made the good decision not to watch then
Vols up 14-3 near the end of the 2nd
Hoi
Oh yeah semi finals tomorrow
Let’s gooo
@rustic mountain RAPTORS WIN
LETS GOOOOO
That pfp

Damnit my server boost ended without realizing
I'm taking Georgia and Michigan tomorrow
For the sake of my sanity, I pick Georgia
@honest umbra we celebrating?
Suns are a play in team now
Greatest of all time
38 and still doing this is p brazy
dang could've gotten a triple double
yes sir
lebron dropping 47 on his bday is wild
He's him
527 away from Kareem 
This is the year
25ish games
Let's goo
Shaw still CB and
Garnacho over Rashford

Jeez
Interesting
I remmeber he was like an
Attacking fullback
In Chelsea
Or a wingback I guess
Cancelo benched again
Wtf is going on
And FOden too I guess
yeah he played as an LB for like 2 games
wasn't doing good, LCB been working out for him
typical gavi yellow
decent half need more goals
wolves are 18th, yikes
Damn I didn't even realize the pelicans are 1st in the west lmao
ansu looks washed
busi on
this alonso Monsterclass....
that's just an unfortunate pen to concede lol
alonso was having a good game then he clips the guys foot from behind... 
Alba red card LOL
wtf did he do
Moyes not getting sacked
he got 2 yellow
Lol
2 more red cards wtf
yeah
should've stood
but oh well
lol this better be like 10 mins ET...
dkmm so many yellows
owari da....
I feel sick
he killed the game
like not even joking, how can top committees not see his matches
and see what’s transpiring?
dude has such a big ego
he has like 30 yellow cards in his last two officiated matches
yeah, he honestly tries to put on a show... just let the game play out
alba getting sent off was stupid
it honestly didn't look like much
and then when actual challenges occur, he does jack shit
and bang he gets hit with a 2nd yellow
Cmon Fat Frank you tory cunt get a result
guess I'll drink earlier today
[1’] Erling Haaland is down and requiring treatment from #ManCity medical staff. 0-0.
Everton are already
Trying to kill Haaland
In the 1st minute
34 bookings...
Lmao
What the hell is this man
It's kinda funny
The combined wage of our fullbacks there
Isn't over 1k
I pray for Arsenal win
Brighton are our bogey team
They're missing Webster,Welbz,Mac Allister and Caicedo
they going for 4
Oh my bad
Brighton Away
Even worse
Could've swear it said at home few days ago
Early 2023 is chaotic without Jesus
Newcastle
Oxford
Spurs
United
guess I'll watch newcastle
If somehow Nketiah manages to carry us trough this forget Felix
Crystal Palace scored
Is macallister playing?
If not, arsenal win
No
De Zerbi confirmed it
He's out until January 3rd
I'm actually kinda scared of Brighton even without their key players they're still a threat
He’s gone full boludo?
it's an edit
You need Killmonger to save you
Yeah
He'll do the marketing so
We good in that sense
Stadium will get upgraded from Foley
Nobody comes close saving that

The only good thing xhaka did for the club was the boom xhaka lacca when Alexandre was still at the club
Would like emery to step foot in North London
So I can get him arrested for terrorism
LOL
https://twitter.com/iihfhockey/status/1609187928835592194?s=46&t=T7O8BOkv4SLyz4hZXo0N_w my equivalent of the World Cup 🥰
He was stepping into a legacy. Didn't do as bad as people make it out to be
He had it on a plate for him to get top 4 and win Europa league
Failed on both targets
Nuh uh
He spent 72 mil on Pepe
That was the season after
Season before he signed Leno sokratis Guendouzi on top of what we had
And a full season of Auba
If Wenger had that team we’d have finished 3rd
And won the Europa league
guendouzi is better than xhaka, would rather have kept him
Signed Torreira too
But yeah Pepe was a shit signing
Midfield was upgraded
Torreira was good, where did he end up
Was homesick and wanted to go to Boca Juniors but they couldn’t afford him
And turkey is better?
ramsey, coquelin, I think only one left is elneny and he was the worse from the bunch
Everton please
Xhaka has been here longer than elneny
Yeah but I hate xhaka
Ngl Xhaka really grew on me since that documentary
what doc
No positives from the match
Amazon doc?
Yes
I always respected Xhaka just didn’t like him as a player but he’s improved a lot so can’t hate anymore
Even agreed with him when told the fans to fuck off
Unlocked him at 30
Who thought he was an 8 along
Agree
I didn't mind him as a player before but what he did to the fans a few years back for me was irreproachable and I don't think I'll ever forgive him
If someone said something offensive to me I'm jumping on someone
And isn’t what the fans done just as bad?
The fans did bad sure
If I was Xhaka rn I’d be talking crazy to the fans, he’s a better man than me
Same
Do that but don't come back
Kdb come on assist
When Arteta took a blame for some defeats if I was the manager I'm beefing with Laca on media
11 minutes what the fuck
This Newcastle bunch are so unlikable lmao
I hate how good they are
Most of their players are average but Howe makes them work
Yeah
No help
managers need composure
Give Howe back pls
good managers take the heat on themselves not the players
Get him out off the league bro
We need to win the prem now cause the next 50 years are Newcastle’s
do a chelsea
Just make the league without newcastle
Just 3 more minutes cmon Everton
This is going to backfire horribly
city gonna draw
One of those FM games
They got FMed
Stunt on them hoes Eddie 
saka and nketiah 
That looks like a regen player
2nd best for us
I had no idea
After Kvara obv
Thats double W
Yuh
We can take another one today
Of course Haaland scored
Well done to Haaland for taking the Champions from being champions to potentially 7 points behind in the title race
@short flame Tell Lerma to wake tf up

Oh man Mina injured again. I think I’ll give up on Colombian football, they’re all so weak
Just be happy he’s fit to play
For 28M we need more than that 
He’s decent
These last few matches he hasn't been him
Sorry to hear that
Bare minimum I need him to be atleast top 3 players in the club
I’ll talk to him
You have better defensive midfielders?
Worse part is he’s probably best Colombian player right now with all the injuries
Nah I don't mean
Defensive midfielders
Cos he has to be the best there
Actualy......
On a second thought
Lewis Cook was great in defence today
But overall I'd say
1.Solanke
2.Neto
3.Tavernier
They have been our best players so far
You have to compare him to people who play like him
Don’t expect him to score 20 goals a season
I'm basing it off of
Overall performance
Attackers=how good they are at creating chances
Just saw his stats this season, he’s had less cards
His positioning in the back is good
Has a wicked foot from outside the box as well
Need him to take more of those
Ye
Lmao
I doubt we'll sign him
We don't require midfielders as much as other positions
Striker, fullbacks and a centreback
Veryyyyyyyy needed
I thought I saw him do something good once
then realised it was cuadrado, the afro confused me
Lmao
LETS GET THIS W
o rei 👑
Servác Petrovský's perfectly placed shot gives Slovakia a 2-1 lead late in the 2nd period 🎯
#WorldJuniors
Ayton is so soft it’s crazy
HE SCORED AGAIN
Dude went for 4 and 7 against a team with only a second round rookie as an actual centre
That’s pathetic
Ayton is a waste of talent
I wish I could make that much while only using like a third or less of my talent
BUKAYOOO
THATS WHY HE'S THE GOAT
PETROVSKÝ SCORES HIS SECOND GOAL IN 49 SECONDS ⚡️
#WorldJuniors
I’m starting to feel old LOL
when people get drafted and are younger than me
Welcome, it only gets worse
We’re winning this 6-0
Yeah I know
I’m super excited for Canada / Sweden later dude
he just reached 2000 goals in paradise
USA / Finland too ahhh all these matchups are sexy today
Please coyotes beat the lightning
Seeing predators as a name gives me weird feelings
Foreshadowing
And that’s how you know they’ll lose 7-1
Zinny unlucky
Like idk sabretooths would be so much cooler
too soon bro
The best game blackhawks bluejackets
Also senators red wings
There's already a sabretooth team
Oh really huh
us
Aren’t you called the sabres?
our mascot is a sabertooth
Then wtf is the predators logo lmao
Idk then be a leopard or something
TANK BOWL
they can be leopards
It’s a super unfortunate name, idk why they picked it but here we are
The logo is a Sabre tooth tiger skull
Nashville Hockey Team
The reason is bc archaeologists found fossils of a Sabre tooth in Nashville
but why predator
I guess they didn’t want to call them the sabretooth tigers or anything bc of the Buffalo sabres
Nashville Music City
They should’ve been Ice Tigers or something
I like the logo and idea
But then do many animals could be called predators lol
Truth lol
of course we're better
There’s a German team named ice tigers I believe
Nashville kitties
And there’s a team in Czech, white tigers
best name is rochester raging rhinos
they changed it to rocherster new york FC
what shit name
I like this
White tigers
this is the best hockey logo out there, even beats the sabres sadly
Dude the aalborg pirates !
That’s cool the predscould do that
Fuck calling themselves predators
Reminds me of this isles logo
not bad
but aalborg wins
maybe if it said pirates instead of islanders
I do like the goal behind
Nashville Epsteins 
Lowkey if we wanna talk pirate hockey logos
The Nashville AHL team had a solid one
Hang on boys
Ducks should still be the mighty ducks
Nketiah pls
😂😂

odegaard wow
Odegaard and Haaland will be terrible to stop
And then we got Spain in the group as well

Hang on
that nutmeg pass was something
Also more importantly in the hockey world… we are witnessing an incredible season by McJesus
December 31st and he has 72 points in 37 games lol
Connor McDavid with 72 pts in 37 games, on pace for 160 pts 🤪.
Last player to reach 160, Mario Lemieux with 161 pts in 1995-96.
2557
123

maybe when he starts defending more I'll rate him
oh ukko pekka playing against bruins, we're dead
I expected Craig to play the important games
Brighton acc good
they got rid of alzate 
oh bruins playing in the bear shirt
that should just be their normal shirt, so much better than their normal jersey
ODEGAARD
they were losing after 2 minutes
Defence leak
Champions of England
Need to give Martinelli a Pele speech at half time
He grew up near me
was fun to watch there
Yeah him and Isak
was he nice?
I felt he was more ball prominent there
Never met him but one of my friends went to school with him
every play went through him tbh
oh my god
Still have to pinch myself that we have Odegaard
a dick just ran into ukko pekka
is that how bruins got so many points
that was so nasty
29M Edu put Don Perez on the bbq
Nketiah pleaseee
why?
who was the previous sporting director
We saw kdb without that City super team
ah Sanllehi
He wanted to go back so bad
ain't this the guy that bought pepe?
We’ve seen city without kdb and they still won the league
that's his job
you can't be a sporting directing if you're not shady
72 mil was even his original price
But yeah
The main reason he got fired was because he got investigated I think

never heard of him
Getting worrying at this point
Uefa might have to step in
about what?
Give us the warchest old man
proper movie villain
He gonna turn up at Colney soon too
oh yeah that guy takes what he wants
With that much money we should be going for current world class players
not teenagers with 50 games
and 1-0 down, to be expected with these clowns at the back
EDDIE
nketiah
should have watched that instead of the sabres
They can’t stop Eddie
arsenal away form been so good
Good for confidence
dkm since when
We have more clean sheets away than home
ah
Was joking that him and arsenal are working behind shakhtars back
best player in the league
Force himself out
Away fans are unreal
Oh ok
Di Zerbi has one home win wtf
He will start to contribute to the price soon
And it was over Potter
are you saying to investigate kroenke or chelsea?
Nooooo no more 
Saka on 4 yellow cards
Mudryk gonna be done by then

Chelshit
Taylor is shocking bro
oh
Brighton can stop our counter freely and no bookings
the ref?
Saka and Saliba both on 4 yellows
Yes
Mitoma is their best player
Sarmiento got that lightskin stare
Zinny and White off Tierney and Tomi on
