I should have specified that this "why?" was largely rhetorical.
The fact remains that no other "industry" works like football does (or doesn't), and that far darker factors than "asset growth" are at work.

There are no philanthropists in football. Yet 'investors' keep 'investing' in clubs which lose money by the tens and even hundreds of millions. Why? And why are so few people asking that question?

Superb performance by Arsenal last night, when Ødegaard touched bergkampesque heights. But that Sporting is no longer the Sporting that blew Man City away three weeks ago. Amorim's gone. In the name of sporting fairness, there should be transfer windows for managers as well as for players.

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike.
I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it.
