Fun fact: UEFA is roughly as bad as the Super League cartel but get a shitload of unearned goodwill due to nostalgia and being "the devil we know"

This is good news. Not because the super league is a food idea, but UEFA should definitely not have a monopoly on football in Europe.

UEFA has created a system that is inherently unfair and functions purely to make money. In practice it means that a group of extremely wealthy and popular clubs from big countries are made to play as many games as possible while UEFA and the owners of those clubs make obscene amounts of money. The super league is an idea by some clubs so keep even more money, but UEFA is essentially doing the same just with slightly more clubs.

For the vast majority of clubs, fans, and let's not forget players, this system does not work. The problem is that UEFA and large clubs have a lot of power, influence and money.

Fuck UEFA so hard. I hope the whole organization can be replaced by something more equal and equitable. The super league isn't the answer to the problems of modern football, but UEFA isn't either.

Hopefully this actually causes UEFA to reform, but I’m not hopeful. I’m not a fan of the ESL as I think it’ll be worse for smaller nations and teams to compete in elite competitions they deserve. That’s not to say UEFA does a good job at it either
