I believe FINA has had similar troubles preventing swimmers from competing in the ISL as well. No offense to swimming or figure skating but association football is a whole different monster size. And a whole different size of money involved. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I was just highlighting that similar cases (even if on a much smaller scale then this one) haven’t played out well for international federations recently. “Sport has the power to change the world.

If you think the majority of fans would actually support the Super League you might be up for a surprise. English Big 6 clubs are getting ripped in the UK media and rightfully so. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56795811 Funnily enough politicians and UEFA have usually come to blows over various stuff but now they form a rare united front against a common enemy.

Just to be clear, that’s not I was saying at all. I was just talking about decisions in similar legal matters recently. I think it’s very clear from the comments on here, and elsewhere online, that fans are not supportive of this idea. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

No problem, I hope you get the clear picture from the die-hards.

opruh 129 Posted April 19, 2021 #16 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Popularity of football is declining, super league will help the sport gain new followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,639 Posted April 19, 2021 #17 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Sheesh... talk about people overthinking the room. Football remains far & away the most popular sport on the planet. This isn't even up for any debate. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,663 Posted April 19, 2021 #19 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I mean, this Super League is bullshit, I think we all agree on that here and that's the main thing, but the total 100% explosive anger in the reactions is almost funny If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,663 Posted April 19, 2021 #20 Share Posted April 19, 2021 And also a statement from the official supporter club of Manchester City, who are not at all happy neither (and also wrongfully seem to think football belongs to them/fans, which is a bit too optimistic in a sport where it's basically only about the billions and billions of euros). https://www.mancityosc.com/post/european-super-league It'd be cool to see supporter clubs of rival teams cooperate or stand together in this though, that would create some unexpected solidarity.
