What is the North American sports model? Why do many football fans oppose the North American sports model?

Why do so many football fans oppose the North American sports model? Is this sports system in North America shameful? Let's discuss this problem together today. Bian Xiao believes that there are mainly the following reasons (personal opinion only):

After the Glazer family bought Manchester United in 2005, Joel Glazer and Brian Grazer came to Old Trafford as club owners. At that time, club CEO Jill watched the championship match between Manchester United and Hungarian team Debrecen. In the 7th minute, Rooney scored the first goal for Manchester United.

When Old Trafford cheered for the goal, Brian Grazer asked a question: "What did you do with the ball?" Watching the game with the Glazer brothers, including CEO Jill and other Manchester United executives were dumbfounded. Deal with what and how? Must be put back in the middle circle. Keep kicking off.

But the first reaction in the hearts of Americans is not the case. Because in MLB or NFL, a lot of balls will be prepared for the game. When a player hits a home run or scores a touchdown, the game ball becomes a special souvenir. What do you mean? This means putting away the ball and selling it as a commodity. So at the moment Rooney scored, the American businessman's idea was completely different from that of tens of thousands of fans at Old Trafford.

The difference between Europe and North America is that European football is a competitive sport, while American basketball is a commercial behemoth.

If European football is a pyramid, then American basketball is an inverted pyramid. The average age of the Development League is only 24 years old, because the NBA never "sucks blood" in the second league, and the miracles of Ribelli and payette will not appear on the American basketball court. Smart businessmen in NBA choose young players from schools for free every year, because there are too many outstanding young talents in NCAA every year, which is enough to support more than 400 privileged classes.

Under the privileged class, there are players whose population is dozens of times that of the NBA. The NBA has intercepted all resources, but they can't get a little disability from the glory of the NBA. No one will organize a city derby between the Los Angeles Bay Team and the Los Angeles Clippers. This is a closed, ostentatious and extremely commercialized gold swallowing beast, and the commercial spotlight in the United States will never fall. No one knows how many basketball players are struggling to pursue their dreams and lives on the poverty line, including the outstanding ones-Old Ingram and Panda Jeff Ayres. Fortunately, both players can make a good impression in the NBA, but they can't help but make people sad.

Simply put, the closed loop of basketball allows this vampire to directly monopolize all good resources and never reveal interests. However, there will be intersections between football giants and small balls, including cross-level leagues organized by the Football Association. Premier League champions can play against unknown teams in the second division, and small teams will benefit from the competition. And big teams can expand their strength by buying players from lower-level teams or leagues. In that case, compared with basketball, it is hard to be called a vampire. After all, the benefits are sinking, but basketball is almost absent.

What is the core competitiveness of European football? Are they super clubs that pay billions of dollars for live TV every year? number

The core competitiveness of European football is the football community! Almost every town and even every community, no matter how small, has a professional (semi-professional, amateur) football team (village, community).

For example, Hoffenheim once created brilliance in the Bundesliga, but there were only 3,000 people. At first, Hoffenheim, like most community teams, killed time in amateur leagues. But it happened that these more than 3,000 fans suddenly became millionaires. He made a fortune and bought Hoffenheim. He spent more than 20 years building stadiums, youth training and bases, laying a good foundation and constantly replenishing blood. During the period, the team gradually entered the regional league, state league, southern league, third-class league and second-class league from amateur league, and finally rose to Bundesliga! Inspiring.

What's more, in the season when they entered the Bundesliga, if they were not inexperienced, they almost won the Bundesliga championship at the last minute!

Another famous football community is Wimbledon in England! Historically, Wimbledon came from a very small place (there are only more than 70,000 people in the city), but it was also brilliant, and it won the FA Cup.

This team was acquired by a foreign businessman at the beginning of this century. Businessmen think Wimbledon is too small to have a market and want to make a nest for the team, which almost caused a stir among fans. However, a corrupt country is a capitalist society after all, and the boss has the final say. The team was bought and the fans lost their hearts!

At this time, a group of fans stood up and announced that the Wimbledon team robbed by funds had become traitors and were ready to raise money to rebuild Wimbledon. This team is called "Wimbledon Athletic" or "Wimbledon Football Club". It only took 10 years from the level 9 amateur league to the professional league, and then to the third level (League 1)!

Although there is no financial support after entering League One, and the venue is too small, fans rarely get up. But the foundation has been solid, and once the opportunity arises, it may not be another Huocun miracle!

A superstar who earns hundreds of millions at a time? A billion people watched the finals live? Neither. The core competitiveness of American professional league is campus sports!

For the four major leagues and all other sports, the developed campus sports in the United States is a talent pool, a leek machine and the foundation of everything. The glory of American professional sports and amateur sports cannot be separated from campus sports. Sometimes, Americans love campus sports even more than professional leagues. Over the years, the most concerned basketball game in the United States is not the NBA finals, but the NCAA crazy parade.

The essence of the North American model is capital. The location, name and history of the team have nothing to do with the market and profit. The Lakers may move from Minneapolis to Los Angeles under a name that has nothing to do with the local area. So the Imperial Stormtroopers in Los Angeles moved to San Diego and returned to Los Angeles after 56 seasons. At the same time, the rules of the game can be modified, stars can be packaged, and even referees can intervene. 20 17 riding bravely in the third battle is obvious. That year, the Zijin Army introduced a white home jersey, which many fans didn't like. I didn't expect it to get worse. When I saw the light blue jersey at the beginning of the season, I finally understood:

The NBA has no historical tradition. Selling clothes to make money is the key. Everything is just entertainment, and everything is for capital.

After the industrial revolution and urbanization, European working class and national identity became the foundation of European football culture. There are many small teams in Europe with poor performance and tight funds, but they have a long history and a solid foundation of home fans. Many of them are grandfathers, and father and son wave flags together. To build a big enterprise, of course, you need funds. This kind of atmosphere, in the face of the greed of capital, erected a warm screen, and made it easier for fans who have been addicted for a long time to accept.

If we change to the North American model, maybe the club of Rome will move to the economically developed Milan or even other countries for profit. The current substitution restriction will be cancelled because of the "Star-making Plan", and sooner or later, a large number of pause advertisements will be added to the game. That painting is so beautiful that I dare not look at it.
