HISTORY in Jordan-Hare!
The largest soccer match in state history, surpassing Argentina vs USA in the 1996 Olympics in Birmingham.

All of America watching Euros rave about Waffle House, Chilis apps, buying Combos at a rural gas station, floating the Chattahoochee, and ranch dressing on the internet:
The Germans are revering Taco Bell.
The Swedes are dumbfounded by ranch.
The English have discovered the sun.
Just wait until the Europeans look up and see this ahead of Tunisia-Uzbekistan.
A German visiting Auburn, Alabama, to watch Lionel Messi and Argentina play Iceland stopped at a Buc-ee's and ate brisket sandwiches on a stack of deer feeder corn.
A sentence never before uttered in all of human history.
This would fix a lot of things.
First things first, revenue sharing would be 50/50, which would be huge for both sides.
The cap being where it is would be a strong starting point, especially with the current CBT sitting around $244 million. The floor being at $171.2 million would force a lot of teams to raise payroll significantly, but I’m sure small-market owners would be more open to that if it meant every team had a more even competitive edge in free agency.
One idea I think could work really well for both players and owners is a homegrown-player cap discount.
If a player is called up through your system and stays with your organization, that player should not count 100% against the cap when you extend them. If only 40–60% of that contract counted against the cap, you would see a lot more loyalty in the sport. Teams would have a stronger reason to keep their own players, and players would have more reason to think twice before testing the open market.
That would change the loyalty aspect of baseball in a massive way.
