On Forbes list of top50 most valuable sports teams you have just 7 football clubs.

Real 6th

Barca 8th

United 10th

Bayern 24th

City 34th

Chelsea 37th

Arsenal 47th

Something is clearly wrong here because football is by far most popular sport in the world. I think for clubs money is most important so this Americanization of football should put them on top.

They want to do this because UEFA was not able to do it. We dont care about this but our board must ask why teams in American football from small American cities with less than 1m population are worth more than global brand like our club. Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts, Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore Ravens... Even same baseball teams we never heard of are worth more... Yankees are kings of marketing and making money. Football is watching 4 billion people in the world and how much people watch baseball and NFL? Outside of USA not popular sports at all. Yet they make more money.

 

 

 

That Forbes list is septic centric

as if the world gives a fuck about the Dallas Cowboys in a shithole murderous RW yank state employing a bunch of roided up likely to be prison-bound in a few years thugs. The average NFL career for a player after their first game is like 3 and a half years. Half of them end up maimed for life, either physically or mentally. Million of yank kids pay us football, and 99.9+% never make jack shite. At least with basketball they can go and play globally.

I REALLY hate American sports owners at this point.

I wish Roman would come to his senses.

He is falling in with people whose country (the US) has him globally sanctioned and would, if they could get away with it, assassinate him due to his ties to Putin.

12 of Europe’s biggest clubs announcing that they’ve agreed to form a new competition, the European Super League, according to Diario AS. The 12 clubs, including La Liga heavyweights Atletico MadridBarcelona and Real Madrid, have announced themselves as founding members, but two clubs notable in their absence were Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, who’ve declined to become founding members.

Load of  bluster we've seen numerous times before which will just end with tweeks to the CL format and money to clubs.

this is entirely possible. Could easily be just a bluff or a reaction that the CL reform is not enough for those clubs. But JPM is seirous about this and they would not try if they wer enot confident those clubs would pull through. Either way something in football is broken now without repair.
