NBA in it's entirety is the super league, not your example, and according to you the soccer "purists" the NBA is the bad guy: elitist, anti-competitive etc.
See, you don't understand it. Are the Lakers playing in an Californian Basketball League besides the NBA? Are the Rockets playing in a Texan League? No, they are not. But those Super League bastards want to continue playing in their national Leagues besides their SL. I could care less if they just want to leave the UEFA and form their own League but I'm not ok with making the traditional competitions meaningless and enlargening the gap between them and the rest of Europe. You are acting like we're pissed because they don't want to play with the other Teams anymore which is bull. Gary Neville, Sir Alex Ferguson, Stan Collimore, the german Bundesliga said it straight out -
KICK THEM OUT!!! And if they want to come back, let them start at the bottom again.

And in Europe the majority is against this concept starting with the UEFA, national Associations, national goverments, fans, media, former and active players, EVEN BOARD MEMBERS OF THAT 12 TEAMS!!! It's basically just the 10 or 12 greedy owners of those Teams and a couple of Vultures that support this idea.

Exactly!!! And that is what is happening in Europe. They are basically ruining everything outside of those 12 Clubs. What's the point in a meaningless competition?
Mamba81p wrote:- NBA shares it's revenue, because they need the small markets to be successful, because in the end that generates MONEY for them. They are just as "greedy" as the super league owners in that regard.
Yes and in Europe the big 12 are trying to eliminate all the other Teams and take the money for themselves. The Premier League won't work with 6 Teams playing Friendly games all season long.
Mamba81p wrote:- in your example those rich franchises will LOSE money, and that is the difference. super league wants to make money, not to lose them. that's how we got here, they are losing money.
They are losing money because of bad management. Real Madrid spent €355 mil in the Summer of '19. MONEY THEY DIDN'T HAVE!!! And now Perez is telling us his club is in huge debts? I'm shocked.
