Teams move

Like Wimbledon FC?
>>players constantly change
Like Van Persie?
>>players aren't from the area the team is named after
Like Ngongo Umbuku?
>>you don't see any profit for supporting "your" team
Like having your team owned by Americans, Saudis or Russians?
>>sports team gives 0 shits about you
Like every divegrass team
>>players give 0 shits about you
Like every divegrass player

also maybe next time you should learn to proxy

OP absolutely ethered

Literally all of those are incorrect. Lose weight.

same as anywhere else. proximity. However, our version of proximity is much more loose, since there are usually only some 30 odd teams in each professional league. Some of our teams are named for the state rather than just the city they play in.

these are all true for euroshits

teams moving IS immensely stupid though so you got americans there

t. mk dons fan
also gain a prime minister

Why do you make sure to single out the NFL for this when the NBA is 500x worse? Not only are players constantly moving, the fans literally rejoice over how epic their offseason is because all the players demand trades and team up on the same 6 teams

this. ever notice how the fewer breaks there are in a sport, the less popular it is?

>handegg

>luckswing

>jigaboo jam

>hockey

>soccer
commercials every 45 minutes

americans cannot go 45 minutes without eating, so we can't stand to watch soccer

People in America who don't like American football are either minorities or losers

Proximity, and even that is iffy. For example in Tennessee and the Carolinas you'll find some Falcons fans because they existed long before the Titans and Panthers existed. Of course if your family has a history of pulling for a certain team they'll probably continue to support that team no matter where they live.

In general loyalty and pride in a team is a lot stronger in CFB than the NFL. If the Falcons left Atlanta I wouldn't follow them anymore nor would I pick another NFL team to like, I'd just follow CFB exclusively.

in baseball there are family loyalties
in football it's just proximity

Its the same in all sports
Someone gotta make the bottom of the pyramid which are the "fans"
Worst I see is when fans start talking about how their not a true fan because they didn't shell out thousands for away games

They have a point though, dedicated fans will always be more relevant than TV viewers.

NFL unironically has the least correlation between geographic distance and fandom for any sport I've seen, even for Burger sports, and I'm not too sure why tbqh. You'll find Cowboys fans in LA and 49ers fans in Miami and no one will bat an eye.

It must be so weird only ever watching sports on TV and not having a local team.

>baseball measuring time
Holy reddit

Or straight.

Exactly why I only support college football, it also helps that the teams I follow are from schools I graduated from.

Honestly America should just shut the NFL down and focus on college handegg, it has so much more soul.

Bongs shouldn't open their mouths about football because every sentence you lot utter on the subject is completely retarded

We're not talking about football though.

imagine if professional amerisports had pro/rel with as many teams as CFB, along with the CFB fanbases
it would put even the Norfest of Norf FC supporters to shame, and you'd have 4 MEN'S World Cups by now even if it was still just a sport for your immigrants

Fans would abandon relegated clubs immediately as there's no real loyalty in American sports, killing the club instantly. It's a single tier setup for this reason.

CFB is fucking based

why would you watch professional sports when you have collage football

I'm a LAfag so I unironically never actually had one until a couple of years ago.

And I wouldn't speak for others as to why they root for their teams but I'm sure they have good reasons of their own.

If we wanted pro/rel we'd have it

We don't want it

Something to do on Sunday

Im sure they asked your opinion

They know it's a stupid question

>Like Wimbledon FC?
Do you mean the team that is hated now (MK Dons) because it is so abhorrent to move locations? You're actually boosting his argument, because the negativity about the whole Wimbledon/MK Dons saga proves how rare and unpopular it is to do what they did.
>Like Van Persie?
You're incorrect, he was at Arsenal for years. There are hundreds of journeymen players you could have picked instead.
>Like Ngongo Umbuku?
not really related to football
>Like having your team owned by Americans, Saudis or Russians?
the working man has no control over what billionaires do
>Like every divegrass team
a lot of them do quite a bit of community stuff but you might still be right
>Like every divegrass player
see above

stop being stupid

America is no country
America is a business, as a Brad Pitt charachter said in Killing them softly.

NO heritage, no history, no culture. Yes, some 'heritage' moments were left in 'history' but its all made up,its just a book of incidents in place of inhabitation.

Is it true that Americans teams will often lose deliberately so they can get a better 'draft pick' in the next season?

Us fat mutts are fundamentally opposed to the concept of relegation because we believe in bringing the best out of ourselves and others, not "keeping them in their place" like Yuros seem to enjoy doing

y da h8 vlad

That's what we have playoffs for

or not niggers

>People in America who don't like American football are either minorities
I thought white people liked American football?

nah this is clueless

why do you people think it's not rare for american teams to move and it's not met with disdain?

Pro/Rel won't work for American Football or Basketball. Talent pools are too shallow in those sports to have 500 teams in some pyramid system. Might work in hockey and baseball. Pro/rel also won't work because we actually watch more than one sport.

It's cool but watching the same 4 or 5 good teams destroy 55-7 every other school is lame and gay, plus the endless irrelevant bowls instead of proper playoffs makes it kinda boring compared to the level and excitement of the pros

>keeping them in their place
>giving successful teams outside of the top division the opportunity to progress
Pick one. In an American system, Leicester City would be stuck in the Championship and would never have won the league and played in Europe.

How popular is the second tier of the NFL (not college/youth football)?

The minor league teams work differently here. They're feeder teams to the major league teams. We just move the best players up to the major leagues instead.

>>luckswing
>commercials every 60 seconds
Based retard

That's what makes it better than the NFL

You know by mid-season at the latest if your team is a contender or pretender, and the good bowls are something to look forward to (the lesser bowls don't really count). Winning a bowl ends the season on a high note even if it's not a chip

So pretty much the same as our Reserve Leagues?

Sounds about right. MLS is also a relatively young and growing league so they're only focused on adding teams right now. 30 teams is more of the magic number in our pro leagues instead of 20 like it is in most other places

>Fans would abandon relegated clubs immediately as there's no real loyalty in American sports,
No, it's because we're loyal to more than one team in more than one sport. This is a fact you povertyball dipshits can't seem to grasp. The MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL seasons overlap at some point, so why would I watch my relegated NBA team beat up on some shitty lower division team in the B-league, when I can watch my NHL team play at the highest level?

Furthermore, since the NFL is a domestic sport relevant in only one country and considering the sport of basketball has a 6'5+ barrier of entry for all but one position, the talent pools wouldn't be deep enough to have even two compelling divisions. Pro/rel could possibly work in baseball and hockey, that develop talent through deep farm systems, but we're back to square one with people abandoning the relegated team and following their other teams who play at the highest level.

Another wrench in the works is that any decent talent would not sign even more than one year with a division II team. Talented players would just be poached as soon as they get there.

It works in povertyball, because the talent levels aren't as vast between Division 1 and 2, since it's the only sport you play. The talent levels would be huge between the NFL and NFL 2, so you wouldn't get any sort of compelling lower division team runs like you do in soccer. The promoted team would just lose every game 60-0.

>why would I watch my relegated NBA team beat up on some shitty lower division team in the B-league, when I can watch my NHL team play at the highest level?
Imagine saying this as if it's a good way of thinking.

How many hours is there is a day/week to watch sports? Hmmm. Let's see, my hockey team is a contender playing in the best league in the world, but yeah, I'm going make it a point to watch my NBA in the lower division destroy a team 130-60. The NBA has enough problems as it is fielding 30 competitive teams. I would be probably be on board with pro/rel if the NBA reduced its size to 10 teams, the next 10 teams in the 2nd division, and the next 10 in the 3rd, this way you'd get balanced competition. As is stands, any NBA Division II would be so massively shit, it wouldn't be worth watching. You would just have the newly relegated team (e.g. New York Knicks) blowing everyone out, while the newly promoted team would be getting blown out.

>having zero loyalty
>bragging about it

No. The better team that was more competently managed deserves "my loyalty" over the shitty managed team that found itself being relegated. Americans punish incompetence by refusing patronage, while you'll let owners field shitty teams for decades because they can count on your "loyalty."

There's always a local team whether it's pro, college, junior college, even high school level. College football here is basically the same competitiveness as The EFL Championship in England
