The Champions League cannot compete with ubiquitous Netflix/Youtube. It will have to be replaced or radically change. The ESL's demise points to the latter.
Americans here cannot grasp the huge difference between the European top 10 clubs and the rest. In american sports teams are much closer to each other.
- raverbashing 5y agoI'd argue even deeper than that. Football (Soccer) is boring. It is even more boring nowadays. (Sill less boring than Baseball but that's a discussion for another time ;) ) 90 min of very little action. Most of the discussion happens around the games (Sports journalists in Football will lose their job to GPT-3 mark my words). Most of the talk was generated by needless controversy/drama (not exclusive to that sport, sure, but see the discussions on how VAR would "end" football) Sports need to adapt to the new times or lose audience.
- killtimeatwork 5y ago> 90 min of very little action It's like a boxing match. The formations are constantly jockeying for tactical advantage, taking calculated risks, outplaying and outsmarting each other on a micro scale etc. [1] Perhaps it's boring for someone who doesn't care about that and only wants to see goals scored. [1] Of course, this is most true in a match of two top teams, the less skill involved the more the match starts to remind a pinball game - i.e. with much less tactics and control, and much more of just reacting and randomness.
