Why is the Super League bad?
It locks the vast majority of teams out of ever making as much money as those teams regardless of how well they do. It also prevents those big teams from ever suffering a natural major decline (for example, Arsenal have been slowly trending worse and worse and are looking likely to be overtaken in terms of success by the likes of Leicester more and more regularly in future, and Man Utd, Milan, Tottenham and Arsenal haven't won their leagues in a decade). No matter what you do, you will almost certainly never win the new "biggest" competition, when teams like Leicester, Montpellier and Bordeaux have won in recent-ish memory despite being so much smaller. That fairytale story will no longer be possible.
It bases membership primarily on how much money teams have, as well as their current marketability, not even their success. There's teams in the second and third divisions which have won major trophies more recently than Spurs, for example.
It kills the local game even more, and makes it so that local fans are shafted for the very richest who can afford to travel even further than they already can, and likely devalues the many local economies which rely a lot on football outside of these massive clubs. It further kills the working class aspect of football and makes being a supporter even more inaccessible to the majority of people.
Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along.
