This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Kinda agree, but Qatar > the Walton family by Irish2003

I think it's few, if any (maybe Bundesliga with their ownership laws, although the RedBull, I mean Lawn-ball-sport fella cracked me up with his audacity) teams that have likable owners and are rather either some petrostate, hedge funder, or connected businessman, but there is also a difference between Qatar & Abu Dhabi having essentially unlimited funds and having a global pissing match for bragging rights, Emirates sponsoring Madrid (and as a dues-paying socio, I'll admit we have built-in advantages vs most teams), and "regular" billionaires like Enos Kroenke (who has spent a fortune on the Rams & reaped rewards) or John Henry (ditto with the Sox), let alone the guys who are rich by our standards but peasants to the above. Bayern has been throttling the Bundesliga, and I'd think they would want some sort of FFP precisely so Man City and QSG can't spend gobs of money.
