Weirdly the only sports I know where those with the most money aren’t guaranteed to always be the winners are American sports. Because of salary caps and the closed shop nature of those leagues competitions like the NHL experience relative parity. I wouldn’t want that setup here though, closed leagues, franchises rather than clubs, player contracts owned by the league rather than than the clubs themselves. I much prefer our (still wildly flawed) pyramid system.
For such a hyper capitalist country they have such an anti free market take on sport that’s sort of jarring in a way.
