This euroleague is for pure entertainment value, i understand we all watch football for entertainment but for a reason that is close to us, maybe regional, family orientated, style of play or whatever but there is a connection. This superleague will destroy this creating these super teams so to speak will create this huge spectacle, as another program on tv. This will mean as our children grow up watching football like this it will become just as substitutable as any other entertainment product like the cinema or bowling something to pass the time with. all tv companies will want to televise these games and none of the other premiership games, you only have to look at sky dropping the scottish football to show that all they are interested is viewing figures. Anyway football will lose its meaning will lose its hardcore supporters, which ultimately the tv companies buy into. it is called fan equity the cheering, the chants the atmosphere this is what tv companies buy that is why they pay so much for the premiership it is not like that in japan or china because they hav no history they dont have fans like that they have no fan equity. This may then lead to lack of core supporters losing the atmosphere which may lose the tv support and funsing and football may struggle, you may think this is a good thing as it may bring it back to the roots but then football will not be seen as a sport a pasion but just another saturday nite show
