Poll: Should US leagues use a European league system?
The NFL serie thread prompted me to post this.
For those who don't know in Europe the bottom 2/3 clubs are kicked out of the league each year and same number are promoted from the league below. I feel this is better in two respects:
1. Clubs with devoted fanbases will prosper. Clubs with fairweather fans will eventually have a bad year/ get related and will then not be able to afford players to try and get back to the top.
2. It punishes apathetic owners. There are some owners who do not bother trying to win, instead they happily sell their better players and make a steady profit despite never winning (the clippers and royals come to mind)
