I find it funny how America is the most capitalist country yet your sports has more of a socialist aspect while in Europe sports structure is just capitalism

Only kinda. I think it's harder to try to boss up and get a bigger piece of the pie in a long term negotiation in American sports. Like the bigger clubs in Europe have been big and will be big for a long time, and it's really unlikely smaller clubs will be a bigger draw. So they can confidently argue deserving more money.

In America it can come and go. Nobody cared about the Cavaliers in basketball, then Bron showed up and they're a HUGE draw. Nobody was interested in the Bucs or Chiefs 5 years ago. Last year, and next year they'll be big draws. So, with that I think it's hard to guarantee a franchise more money years in advance because they could quickly become undeserving of it. So, they have revenue sharing.

But think about it, yes they will always be big clubs. But part of the reason is that they fear the smaller clubs getting to their level. Look at the changes they tried to make when Leicester City won or the article I posted about not wanting Atalanta in the Champions League but wanting Roma in.

Lol look how much they lost their mind when Chelsea got money how many rules that came in to keep certain clubs happy
 




It's about fucking time the anger in the club turned on the correct target. No #Managersnameout movement is going to fix Arsenal when the real evil continues strangling the club unabated. I'm finally glad the fan base have properly turned on the board - better late than never I guess.

It's the same thing with football. Chelsea had like 5k fans outside of London pre 04 and City had like 85 pre 08
