RE: ADSactly Sports - The World's game: The Real "Football"
Thanks for such a thought out and relevant response. I agree that there are fewer upsets that happen in soccer and in the top leagues there are teams that are great every year. More parody would make these games and leagues much more engaging for sure. I would have to disagree with the cheating statement. There are plenty of teams and players trying to cheat in American sports. From tar on a baseball, stealing calls from the sidelines and illegal curves in sticks. Everyone is trying to get an advantage.
Mhh, I did overestimate the fairness of the games in the US. Which suddenly reminds of the "Deflated ball" gate with from Tom Brady and the Patriots.
What I do like about the US system is that they try to create teams of equal strength with the drafts and the salary cap! This kind of things are not possible within football/soccer. Here all teams are having their own youth teams. Hoping on the next Messi or Ronaldo! In the US the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB teams don't really have this!
Which makes the drafting principle possible!
If an article is well written it deserves a great response! So thanks for the article!
