Can someone explain this like I hate sports lol

[ohmylol]

the post i linked has everything lol, but tl;dr: very rich clubs (literally the richest in europe/the world) decided to make their own league, without responding to FIFA or UEFA or any of the entities that "regulate" the sport, thing that is bad because football is already completely unfair, there is a very big disparity between these very rich clubs and clubs that don't have much money, you see it because the winners are always the same , so this thing will just increase that gap.

Ohhhh okokok LMAO thank you this makes more sense! I was reading this like I get that people are mad but why 😭

[ohmylol]

also it's just going to be a tournament for pure greed, with UCL you classify based on how good you were in the season of your local league (same with uefa europe league) but here it's just these 12 teams doing this league without any stakes, no relegation, just because they wanted to, so they can sell tickets and tv rights, they don't have to respond to anyone so they will get richer.

And it's not like corrupt fifa is better but this will make everything worse

[ohmylol]

I've liked the memes:

how dare this made me side with Bayern

and hasn't Paris won the current Champions League by default now?

[izzzzy23]

i was listening to football weekly today and they said it's still up in the air about clubs continuing to play out the rest of the season or not, no one's made the decision to eject them yet

[sintitulo]

well at first i read it's still not decided, and the two options seem to be either psg takes it, or they allow the non-ESL teams that were knocked out in the quarter-finals to return and compete. but then there were also reports that uefa is allowing city, real, and chelsea to remain for this season.

[galactoze]

That never happened for me before (siding with Bayern)

[champagnexdream]

Disgusting

[megalixer]

is this not just the champion's league or

[just444]

but you have to qualify for that, duh!

[ohmylol]

Not because Arsenal, Man United and Toottenham didn't classify for it 😭

And tbh EPL has been unpredictable

[trynabme]

aye United did qualify this season, and will for next season
