The biggest issue is that we never had an open debate. When the first politics asked to be independent they wanted to be an associate state, so not really independent. Now politics say they want to be completely independent but at the same time they assume they will be in the European Union and Barcelona will still play in the Spanish League. So the group you are talking about is really a minority, they are different groups depends on the type of independence they have in mind. They don't fight against theirselves because the central government close any possible debate and blame all the independents the same way. (even all catalans)
- wbillingsley 9y agoWhy wouldn't Barcelona continue to play in the Spanish League? Swansea (Welsh) currently play in the English Premier League (as did Cardiff City until they were relegated). Monaco play in the French league, San Marino in the Italian, there's a German team that plays in the Swiss leagues and an Austrian team that plays in the German league... Europe is a curious patchwork of teams playing in other countries... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports_clubs_playing_in_the_league_of_another_country#Andorra_.2F_Spain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports_clubs_playing_i...
- jorgemf 9y agoThe Spanish federation doesn't allow teams from other countries to play in Spain. None teams from Andorra or Portugal play in Spain.
