Do you want your team to be owned by fans?

No hockey?

Coca Cola make toasters?

😅🤣😂

I think both systems could benefit from each other.
It would be good for the american leagues if they started to relegate the worst teams to a lower tier in order to stop those teams from tanking. No one "wants" to loose if they have to fight for their place in the league.
What I would love in germany is if they took the american draft system. I like that the bad teams of the last season get better talents for the next season. It's more possible to rebuild and start a comeback.

Man they hit the college sports atmosphere/discussion nail on the head with this one. Great video

Forgot about the Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles.

Nur der HSV

Why are we running our sports leagues like the Premier League? "Oh honey" who do you think the EPL got the ideas from to run the league like they do?

Well, the German Bundesliga is a really bad and at the same time a really good example.

In the first league, there are several clubs that have received significant sums from private investors, and the story of Hoffenheim (which I still can't even point out on a map, despite being quite good with geography) is mainly a story of successful investment rather than a romantic sports movie with several training montages. Also, yes, Bayern Munich wins every time, this is true as well. At the same time, however, Bayern – despite my personal dislike of them and their pompous nature – is still a traditional club with a long-standing cultural heritage dating back to 1900.

Anyway. Even if the fight for the top spot has become dramatically less interesting over the past decades, there's still the always-open ended relegation fights, the fight for the second spot, the international spots et cetera.
The 2nd league, at the same time, attracts almost as many viewers and stadium-goers as the first – that's because there, too, are usually big, tradition-rich clubs in there (like HSV from Hamburg – the German dude is wearing their jersey, it's my favourite club as well…despite the fact they've been in the second league for about six years now).

I'm not sure about the American mentality towards sports, but in Germany, wherever you're born primarily determines what club you'll be a fan of. Born near or in Hamburg, you're HSV or St. Pauli fan. If you were unfortunately born near or in Bremen, you'll be a Werder Bremen fan (again, my condolences).
There are execptions to that rule, there always are, and they are just as respected. When I worked in the Black Forest region (south-western Germany) a couple years back, I once drove past a house perched on a steep slope next to the road that had a garage painted with the HSV logo. Either they're "expatriates" from the North, or they're just HSV fans for some cool reason.

The unfortunate shadow that such fandom casts is the tribalism that this encourages: There are so-called "Ultras", hooligans who seem to care little about the sport itself and instead have an exaggerated sense of loyalty to the club, often resulting in alcohol-fueled brawls outside the stadium and forbidden pyrotechnics inside the stadium, frequently provoking a game pause. Though only rarely will these actions end up in a complete abort of all activities on the field, leaving the game to be repeated on a different date and resulting in comparatively high penalty sums that not those "Ultras" pay, but the very club they're fan of.
Though it should be said that only very rarely will there be innocent people harmed by such incidents: Ultras are usually perched into their own stadium sections, and that's cool with everyone involved.
Most of them are peaceful anyway, and I personally have met my share of them. Their fandom doesn't permeate their very being, they work normal jobs, they just have a different way of spending their free time. In fact, "Ultras" usually organize themselves into or are part of fan clubs, which play an important part of keeping the fan culture alive.

So what’s the deal with College ball?

I think my grandpa is the “one” Charger fan. Poor guy

touched on it briefly, but I do appreciate how in the US the worst teams are getting the best new players. This video was fantastic. Thank you!

Teams moving cities is such an appalling concept to football fans outside the U.S.

If you are native from Gelsenkirchen, you get to chase your team around the stadium. We call it the "Uth-hunt"

As a Chargers fan, ouch! But fair.

Soccer? Its football, why even a german does this mistake….

We dont own the teams but we do get to pay for the stadiums with tax dollars

Only move I can think of that makes a semblance of sense was the Seattle Pilots moving to Milwaukee to become the Milwaukee Brewers.

0:39 Dr Strangelove lässt grüßen! 😆

At least US sports has salary caps and therefore keeps leagues interesting. In Europe the rich teams can just buy up everything and dominate domestic leagues. 30 years ago I definitely would have agreed with you when your leagues were still competitive.

I love the double reference of the appreciation of "doch" and the movies!
Nein – doch – oh….. very good!
Anyone else spotted?

Soccer?! That's football.

Talking about money and sport. After more than 70 years, the DFL and DFB (German Football Association) are giving up their partnership with Adidas because Nike from the USA has made them a "better" offer. Pathetic.

Were can I get a toaster like that in Germany. Looks pretty cool
