| Topic | wow there's so much parity in sports these days |
| argonautweakend 05/21/19 12:01:38 AM #4: | The thing is, the US has tons of parity you guys have no idea, compared to world soccer leagues. They are all successful(warriors coming close, but still nowhere near these leagues) but other teams have a chance. Other teams can and do win. Warriors wont win forever. The reason for this is because oddly enough, the leagues are 100% based on money. no salary cap, no drafts. The richest always win. in soccer you can buy players outright with cash. in the US you generally need to trade capital(players, picks, sometimes + cash). cash always wins. no drafts meaning you a) scout the best players in the world and use your insane cash advantage to get them at a young age or b) let somebody else develop them and buy them when they're decent and older. I present to you: Scottish Premier League https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Scottish_football_champions#Total_titles_won turkish premier league https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Turkish_football_champions#Performance_by_city_(1924%E2%80%93present) spain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Spanish_football_champions#Total_titles_won Even Gibraltar, for what its worth, take a look at the Red Imps since the turn of the century 200001Lincoln Red Imps (8) 200102Gibraltar United (11) 200203Lincoln Red Imps (9) 200304Lincoln Red Imps (10) 200405Lincoln Red Imps (11) 200506Lincoln Red Imps (12) 200607Lincoln Red Imps (13) 200708Lincoln Red Imps (14) 200809Lincoln Red Imps (15) 200910Lincoln Red Imps (16) 201011Lincoln Red Imps (17) 201112Lincoln Red Imps (18) 201213Lincoln Red Imps (19) 201314Lincoln Red Imps (20) 201415Lincoln Red Imps (21) 201516Lincoln Red Imps (22) 201617Europa (7) 201718Lincoln Red Imps (23) US fans have it pretty good. except modern basketball but oh well, golden state will never win like 40 in a row like some of these teams ...
