Football (soccer) today - sport or business?
In June starts the EURO. Aleksander Ceferin has forced the host cities to promise they will arrange the games with audience even though nobody can say how the situation with the pandemic will be. Because he likes the sport or because the UEFA don't want to make losses with the EURO? Dublin and Bilbao lost their games. Replacment for Bilbao is Sevilla but there will be no games in Ireland. Munich didn't make a firm commitment but they keep their games. The DFB is a big association and a champion and Ireland not.
The reform of the Champions League saves the big clubs their income. If they don't qualify they can nevertheless play in the Champions League because they played there the last years. An almost closed society. Is this fair? The big clubs make even more money.
Good night, football.
