I need someone to explain the kerfuffle about the European Super League

[Ron Obvious]

3. It's a closed system

European leagues have traditionally allowed movement between divisions. Failure causes relegation to a lower division, those teams to be replaced by those promoted from a lower division, and so on down several divisions. E.g. finish bottom of the 2d division, get relegated to the third. Win the 2d division, get promoted to the first. It's a meritocracy which is open to anybody, rewarding well-run clubs and punishing badly-run ones. Create a new team and start at the lowest division; no need to lure a team from elsewhere.

This disgusting superleague with permanent "franchises" is a closed system, meaning it's disconnected from all of the rest of the sport in order to guarantee return of investment with no chance of failure. No promotion/relegation forever.

It's the worst thing to happen to football in its entire history and that's not hyperbole.
