Mickolution posted:In terms of running the clubs, maybe, but I fail to see what right the NFL has to tell you how to run your other businesses. NFL teams actually make money, while most NBA teams lose money. Frankly, I'd bend over backwards to own an NFL team and follow their preposterous rules just for a piece of the pie. NFL profits are absolutely staggering, which makes the lockout for this coming season even more sickening. The upcoming NBA lockout is incidentally for the opposite reason--NBA players make so much money that most franchises (and their owners) lose money, much like their NHL counterparts (the 2005 NHL lockout was an attempt to correct this through a salary cap--it has not worked for the most part).

Raightning posted:I came across something that might be interesting to a few people here (with the whole Kroenke business) a while back, the SA thread from when Glazer took over at Man U (requirse archives). Interesting to see parallels between what was said then and what's being said about Kroenke tbh. What did people think about H&G? I seem to remember a lot of general fan optimism, but what did SA think?

s0meb0dy0 posted:Incorrect on the NBA. The teams are losing money because they are leveraged to hell and back (like ManU) and because of creative accounting. They do their best to show loses so they pay no taxes, and so they can justify paying players less. If superstars from small teams continue to join together in big markets, where will this leave the teams in the small markets? (Seriously though, we're gonna make the football fans mad)

Modus Trollens posted:If the licenses were sold separately then there would be increased competition for viewers which is why I think the FA doesn't sell it that way. For example FoxSoccer2go (they're shittly named streaming service) wouldn't show games being shown live on FSC or ESPN because it'd take away viewers. FoxSoccer2Go was actually a really nice service crippled by the need to prop up FSC :\ 20 bucks/month to watch a ton of matches, but many of the ones you'd want to watch weren't available till 12:01 AM the next day because of the FSC nonsense. That being said, I've been a subscriber so I can watch Liverpool's Europa League games at work.

JunkDeluxe posted:Easy for Agger to turn down the money when he is on £80K a week. Don't understand this kind of reasoning. Yes, Agger is wealthier than many players (especially those in Denmark), but doing something like this isn't just about the money -- it sets an example for others thinking about doing the same thing. I don't blame anyone for taking those payments (neither did Agger), but a gesture like that, symbolic as it may be, isn't meaningless just because he's rich.

Scudamore is pretty cunty for throwing his weight around, but the 2nd proposal is ridiculous. Salary caps in football? And only for the relegated teams? The first proposal is completely reasonable though.
