Can somebody explain this Super League thing? The rich trying to get richer, by screwing over everyone who isn't rich, because at this moment they are mildly less rich than they are used to. I haven't super researched the topic this is just my take by glancing at headlines and my knowledge of how the sport runs.

Can somebody explain this Super League thing? The rich trying to get richer, by screwing over everyone who isn't rich, because at this moment they are mildly less rich than they are used to. I haven't super researched the topic this is just my take by glancing at headlines and my knowledge of how the sport runs. Pretty much summed it up. It was basically a failed coup attempt by the owners of 12 clubs in Europe. They went behind the backs of the fans, players, managers, and their own staff to try and set up a breakaway league where they'd be permanent members and take a bigger slice of the pie. It totally goes against the entire sporting culture/ethos in this part of the world, so people lost their shit. They've been threatening this for a while but I don't think anyone was really prepared for it to happen. I'm honestly so happy and relived that it's failed. I've invested so much time and energy into following/supporting my club and the sport, and it felt like it was going to be ruined by some greedy billionaires. It was a stressful 48 hours. What's amazing is how the football community pulled together to reject the idea so strongly that it's already fallen apart. What's also astounding is the incompetence of the owners who tried to set this league up. The whole thing was so badly conceived and handled from start to finish. The owners of all these clubs are in so much shit with the fans and other clubs now, it's going to be fascinating to see the fallout from this. I think in the UK at least the government will bring in some legislation to stop anything like this happening again. As a supporter, I feel conflicted over Man City's involvement. We owe a huge debt to the owners for what they've done for the club, but to have signed up to something so dastardly/doomed to failure, I've lost all respect for them.

I legitimately do not care about soccer or watch any games, but the news about it is always interesting at least.

champions league finals vs Chelsea ayyyyyyyy So happy and relieved we made it to the final at last but I’m nervous already. Hopefully we can get a good result against them at the weekend to get in their heads (and wrap up the league).

KdB is definitely fun to watch!
