Not being content with merely being richer than god; they wanted more and didn’t give a shit if they would rip the soul out of the entire football ethos in the process.

Do you feel the game as currently constructed has soul and football ethos? -- nm - Volnelk Apr 25, 08:13 2
- I think the idea that a random team can aspire to reach a higher station on merit is a great idea. I wish American sports would embrace some of it - Will Hunting Apr 25, 08:21 1
  - There's also giant differences in the geography and infrastructure of the sport - Reagen Apr 25, 09:15
Also, potentially fewer games in the local stadium (and in general) to watch. All in name of a cup that has no historical value. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 25, 08:11 7
- So nothing can change ever? Because anything new wouldn’t have historical value? -- nm - Volnelk Apr 25, 08:15 5
  - Sure. For instance, the Toyota Cup evolving into its current format. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 25, 08:36
  - It does if it’s grounded in the traditions of its history. This, is not. - znufrii Apr 25, 08:20 3
    - I get the flaws and I don’t want it to happen. My point was just that if it WAS going to happen then you’d rather be in it than not. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 25, 08:39 2
      - These fans don't think it merits being a part of. They realize how shameless a cash grab is by mostly foreign owners - Will Hunting Apr 25, 08:59
      - It was only going to happen because the owners wanted it to, they’re not passive actors here. It’s a bad faith argument. -- nm - znufrii Apr 25, 08:44
- there it is -- nm - mud Apr 25, 08:13
