Football

While there are many things wrong with North American sports, one thing they get right is fairness.

Things like the the draft systems, salary caps, etc are stacked against people buying the league, at least over a long period of time.

Yet teams like the Patriots, Lakers, etc still manage to be the best, simply by being really fucking good at what they do.

I like that mindset, and wish we had it in football.

God I hate this argument as it underlines a complete lack of understanding of the US pro sports structure. Apples and onions comparing the US to the European sporting structure.

And for the record the amount of financial fiddling, contract restructuring, deferred payments, etc. means that the salary cap is almost meaningless.

There is no inherent fairness, what the leagues are driving towards is parity. Parity and fairness are two different things.
