lmao. The idea that allowing petro states to spend unlimited amounts of money would make it more a merit competition than a financial one is legitimately one of the dumbest things a human being has ever said.
The only thing he’s right about is it becoming a financial game about selling hotels to yourself, etc., to comply with PSR. But that’s just an argument for more regulation, not less.lmao.

Having worked with a bunch of very wealthy people, I wasn't surprisedSawiris was born into wealth, in case anyone was wondering how someone so dumb can be so rich.

Born on third base and daddy buying you a degree from an Ivy League school (or equivalent) doesn't make you smart? Say it ain't soThese are usually the people that think they are the most smart too
If NFL can play in Europe, EPL can play a game in the States. It makes too much sense for money of existing fan base and the potential of expecting the market.

That's why I said NFL.NHL has wayyy more games though, and in general they are more used to travel and less at risk of injury from overload.
Personally I don't like it at all. But like, Community Shield I could see, sure
Travel is dramatically overstated for today's professional leagues. It's not like they're just grabbing an economy ticket on a London to NY on Ryan Air or anything. They're chartering a private plane.NHL has wayyy more games though, and in general they are more used to travel and less at risk of injury from overload.

Just curious, what makes them "illegal gambling firms"?
A very long and good thread here:
You know how HF is full of people complaining about gambling ads during hockey games? Well, be glad the league isn't trying to get popular in Asia.

not sure on the rules with Vietnam -- a quick google search says it's illegal but not sure if correct. But from what I understand (based on a previous Villa sponsorship) it is similar to Chinese gambling sponsorships -- they get the exposure from being on the shirt and all around the stadium for those who watch on TV/streams. Gambling is illegal in China (and Vietnam) but these "companies" run illicit gambling & casino operations online. The exposure is then meant to draw the attention from citizens of those countries to their websites to gamble on.Just curious, what makes them "illegal gambling firms"?

Thought about this more. Agree that NFL is the best comparison, but I think the two key differences are that the NFL doesn’t have a double round robin format AND it has playoffs.If NFL can play in Europe, EPL can play a game in the States.

Its weird, and it won't be popular with supporters, but if you could do it and say offset ticket costs at home? Maybe it worksThought about this more.

I can't say this is a surprise. More actually, I feel that this sort of story/quote/interview has been inevitable.
It's more the competitive disadvantage that I'd be frustrated by, personally. Yeah, I think you could probably sell it to the fans if you use it to lower per game season ticket prices, but even still.Its weird, and it won't be popular with supporters, but if you could do it and say offset ticket costs at home?

Not sure. You have to think a club could clear 10-15 million in tickets, plus a ton of off field stuffIt's more the competitive disadvantage that I'd be frustrated by, personally.
