I'm trying to digest what this means but my first thought is that the LIV golfers will be laughing having received humungous signing on fees and will now be in the same tournaments as those that resisted.
To have one global entity is a good thing (and will save the struggling DP World Tour) but very curious to understand some of the further details behind it. |  | | |  |

Exactly. Once any sport generates a certain amount of revenue, it becomes a business & the old rules no longer apply. The USA is fortunate that it's 3 main sports aren't hugely popular in the rest of the world. |
But I thought they have the 'World Series' in one of those? |  |

There’s a disturbing template here for a breakaway European Super League. Just like with the golf, it would threaten the overall competition and market for football by fragmenting it and there’d be talks of boycotts and bans etc. But ultimately the wider footballing industry would then decide to bring it back “in-house” to protect the industry and its total revenue.
That’s all beside the point that, objectively speaking, football probably needs the best players and teams playing against each other more often than currently. Might be upsetting for purists, traditionalists and smaller clubs left out but football will just lose ground to the competition like NBA basketball, e-sports and YouTube etc. as these are clearly better packaged towards the next generations.
Not my preference at all but it is the most likely destination now that football is becoming such a big global “product” and trillion-dollar marketplace. |
You’re right It definitely is. This and Newcastle and the World Cup bid is the dress rehearsal. |  |
