I don’t know. Football is without a doubt a high intensity job, but these players are incredibly well compensated despite only having to do half a days work for the majority of their days. Compare that with someone who works in IT and is on call? Or a nurse and their weekly twelve hour shifts.
I definitely think scheduling can and should be improved, but not because of fixture congestion or them playing too many games, but because football exists because of fans and sometimes we go a week without a game or have a couple weeks worth of untelevised games. What we need is fixture consistency.

Eh, I can’t access it? 😭
I think all the football communities should come together and create an instance. LemmyFC.fans or LemmyFC.sport (since .football is already registered) or something like that. Then football fans will find it easier to find their teams and related communities.
During the developer AMA the other day, they said it only costs $10 a month to host Lemmy.ml. If the admins from the club communities came together and put $1-2 a month it could easily work. As it got more and more popular, I’m sure donations would come in.
But I think, especially on .world, it’s hard find all the football communities. You only need to look at https://fanaticus.social/ to see how successful it can and should be and football is way bigger than NFL.
Defense has been a massive issue for you lot for a couple years now, hopefully you finally get it sorted.
BTW, not sure if you know about it but there’s a Tottenham community here: [email protected]
But also note, Madrid are in a massive amount of debt. I can’t remember the name, but the previous King liked to write-off their debt and so a certain way of life was established in Spain. Times change and they no longer have that debt being written off every so often, however they kept spending more than they were making and eventually accrued just shy of 1 billion debt. This is one of the reasons they pushed for the Super League, because if the Financial Fair Play rules were ever applied properly, they’d be chucked out of everything.
Anyway long story short, Madrid and Mbappé thought he could join them this summer, but PSG want more than they anticipated and Madrid are unwilling to offload talent to make it happen. Now he can either go to Saudi Arabia or Manchester City and he prefers to wait the extra year.
Expand football? Is he taking the piss?
