@bronsonact10N @Globalstats11 It is also overwhelmingly the most popular sport in the most rich countries.

@terabump2 @MCameron008 These guys all grew up watching the top leagues. The difference is our guys don’t grow up in an open ecosystem that promotes competition and meritocracy. It is very simple.

@susancrabtree @LauraPowellEsq I would guess it is a similar story with his wife and soccer at Stanford. People in Sacramento think she played. She never played a minute. I’d guess her dad made some calls to get her “recruited” and she was around the team for a few months before quitting.

@1040joyce @MikeHiserman @jenvanlaar @Susan_Shelley @ocregister @CAgovernor @JenSiebelNewsom Just like her hubby she lies about her athletic past. He never played for Sahara Clara and she never played for Stanford. What is wrong with these people?

@MikeyCoinSnatch @gsenat @centregoals @TheEconomist ⚽️ is already there. MLS is the problem. Most ⚽️ fans in 🇺🇸 hate mls.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@TJMoe28 @piersmorgan ⚽️ already more popular than ⚾️ in 🇺🇸 according to recent economist survey.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@AndreJo89945597 @RobHTX78 @Bricktop_NAFO “Value” is inflated by 🇺🇸 teams because they play in closed leagues vs the open ecosystems of ⚽️. This is why nfl owners who also own soccer teams tried to start the super league in Europe.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@Forbes Apples and oranges- Soccer teams should be in a different category given they are in open ecosystems (not mls of course) with so much risk due to relegation or not qualifying for the champions league.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@guadalagara1 @CostaKapo @RichKettle07 True- the nba does have real overseas rights contracts. Not at all level like the premier league of course but the nba has them because basketball itself is popular. The nfl hides the value of such contracts for good reason: they are embarrassingly low.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@SurreyPalmsWX @CostaKapo @RichKettle07 There is a reason the NFL does not publish or announce its overseas rights contracts and the premier league does. The nfl rights contracts are of very little value- and the truth would go against the narrative of “growing so much in overseas popularity”

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@PortuGeezer13 @StatsMaxer @RichKettle07 Recall when Randy Learner (nfl owner - The Browns) bought Aston Villa? Well- he ended up losing 400 million! Why ? They got relegated down and had to fight to come back up. Performance on the field counts. This can’t happen in monopoly franchise 🇺🇸 sports.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@THEChrisKessell @ajturini Monopoly will monopoly.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@robertrea @AlexiLalas Kiss up.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@robertrea @AlexiLalas He does understand. He just can’t say it so he justifies other reasoning. He isn’t super rich- he needs mls, fox and others. Other former players who have the cash and don’t need to kids up speak freely.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@StatsMaxer @Masq811 @RichKettle07 The valuations are real. It is lack of risk in USA sports.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@StatsMaxer @Bonanazag @RichKettle07 You guys are missing the crucial factor: promotion and relegation. This is why terrible MLS teams are more valuable than EPL teams.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@StatsMaxer @RichKettle07 Valuations of franchises in closed monopoly leagues are of course much higher than clubs playing in open ecosystems with risk of not qualifying for the champions league or getting relegated. This is why the tried to start the super league in Europe. Right ⚽️ was top.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@LevAkabas Teams in closed franchise based monopoly leagues should be in a different category than clubs in open ecosystems with promotion and relegation. I mean mls teams are now over 1 billion because of the closed system.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@saiguedelic @BCemFURIA Because there is no risk of relegation in the nfl. No risk of not playing in the champions league. This is very simple. When they attempted to launch the Super Leage FC Barcelona was more valuable than the Cowboys for a reason.

[globalsportnut @globalsportnut]

@0chzbelisa_LOL @nytimes @TheAthleticFC Glad the lack of relegation is at the top. Remember that during the failed Super League experiment FC Barcelona was given a higher valuation than the Cowboys. Champions League is not certain- this valuations must be much lower.
