    How is “capitalism’s fault” a childish excuse, it’s a genuine reason why there’s too many games, so the Premier League, UEFA, FIFA etc. can be greedy and make more money

    That’s what capitalism is

      It isn’t. It’s overspending. Which has nothing to do with economic system. But straight up poor club management. You can set rules like budget or salary limit without a systematic change.

      That’s why dying “capitalism bad” is a dumb and childish statement.

      A socialist system would also extort as many games as possible out of the players. If anything capitalist systems have proven to be far more responsive to overtaxing resources, whereas historically socialist systems are hesitant to reduce production of a good or service.

        I don’t think a socialist system is the best solution either

        A more moderate, less greedy capitalist system would be good, like making teams in Europe unable to participate in the League cup, and maybe reducing the teams in the Prem and have less games in pre season

          Reducing the league cup games only delegitimises the competition. The better solution, objectively, is to reduce the number of european games played. Imo jt should be a straight knockout, no group stage games.
