Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3654436, member: 9881"] Sure you’ve picked one that doesn’t have a major discrepancy (which is still arguable) in place and as such out of all of them you see the least amount of domination from franchises. Sure the Patriots were pretty dominant but there has been 11 different Super Bowl winners since the 2010 season. In MLB and NBA they have luxury tax’s that disincentivise further expenditure whilst in the MLB the discrepancy between the big market team’s expenditure and lower teams is absolutely laughable. Whilst the NHL has a salary cap they have a 20 million dollar discrepancy (approximately 25% of the cap) between the cap floor and the cap maximum which makes for a clear discrepancy in quality. Not to mention the only restrictions in European football are Financial Fair Play rules which dictate that a club must play within their means of revenue earning (which restricts competition if anything) and interestingly enough this was not introduced at all to even up the playing field but to ensure financial viability of a large percentage of clubs in Europe that had extreme debt problems and struggled to maintain yearly profits. I understand the point you come from in that they don’t tolerate losing but the restrictions towards effecting change in short term periods merely don’t exist in comparison. The closest is the NFL where they have 255 million a year to spend, unguaranteed contracts, a 25 million a year lower cap floor than the maximum, a trade system and a draft. Significantly changes one’s ability to effect change when you work in an environment where the cap is 10 million for 30 players, 95% cap floor, no trades, no draft and a very strong view on mid-contract movements in comparison to these other sports. The flexibility and mobility the cap allows is not even remotely comparable enough to say the Yankees and similar elk global sporting franchises don’t tolerate defeat and effect change well so why don’t we?! It’s just not that simple of a statement to make. [/QUOTE]
