Responding to your point about Trump, something I like about football is the way that it's politics without (significant) social consequence. (Partly why I like art, too: where you can be as irresponsible and as experimental as you like, knowing that ultimately nobody dies, nobody starves, etc. I know the arguments against that but it's increasingly how I feel and actually see it as a strength rather than a limitation) Anyway, I certainly wouldn't want Britain or any other country to be run the way the Prem is but something about the sentiment-free brutality of its economics does appeal to me, albeit only conceptually, which is why I oppose things like Financial Fair Play, fan ownership, salary caps, etc, and embrace (as an idea, anyway) teams like RB Leipzig, PSG, Man City, and Chelsea.
