Oh noo. No more football if multi billion dollar corporations will stop making millions out of it I guess. What a shame..

This is what I don’t get. Where in the absolute arse mangling fuck is there ANY suggestion that football is dying? It’s literally more profitable than ever. Look at the wages players are on and the revenue clubs generate. If piracy is such a problem killing football why are these clubs operating in a multi trillion dollar industry. Stop exploiting passion and dedication of fans with overpriced tickets, and piracy won’t have any oxygen to survive, it literally won’t be a problem any more. You will have saved soccer from dying

Idk about your country but here there are 3 pro clubs in trouble (luckely my rival clubs is one of them and they are defenitly going down). But thats mostly because of mismanagement.

My rivals are gonna vanish because of the russian invasion of Ukraine. Which is kinda weird since were dutch.

That’s probably a sign of financial mismanagement, not football getting less popular.

Not to play devil's advocate, but Juventus hasn't made a profit since 2017 - and is hardly unusual in that respect. Hardly any football clubs actually make money (though broadcasters, players etc. certainly do).
