That's an interesting euphenism for 'spend a massive amount of money on ~~corruption~~ lobbying',

  not necesarilly, any government will make decisions, if there's no one to speak up and inform them why the decision is stupid, like the one from LaLiga, then we end up in this situation

    This is incredibly naive.
    • lentil_soup 6mo ago
      ok, then what do you suggest? we don't get involved and decisions at the government level are made for us? I might be naive, but let's not be restrained by the cynicism of any involment in politics and governance is corruption
    • embedding-shape 6mo ago
      What? This is how governance and public opinion happen, at least in Spain. Government does something bad? Everyone out on the streets to complain, and calling politicians to change their mind. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, but doing nothing is never an option if you disagree with what they're doing. To think that doing nothing is better than something, that's incredibly naive.

        Doing nothing can't be better, but it's entirely possible that doing nothing has exactly the equal effect as doing something.

          > but it's entirely possible You're right, it possibly has the same effect. How could we figure out what's the actual answer in practice?
