Isn’t it like creating an NFL for the EU?

No, it's more like the Top 12 NFL franchises breaking away and forming their own and making it impossible for the other 20 to come up.

It's all falling apart as we speak. Everyone's pulling out.

Yup. But, it's still a huge moment for sports. Like celeb politicians - monied interests will eventually try to shake things up again. Fans, commentators, politicians really seeing the importance of organization, ownership, financing etc. 8 of these 12 teams are owned by foreign interests - rich Saudis and Russian billionaires.
This has shaken a lot of people to their core.

Even Will posted against it. Of course he’s the FA president, but his tweet seems raw. And he sent it out during the family’s mourning period.

It's as if someone created a Datalounge just for A Gays.

How are people shaken by a new league of the best playing with the best? I bet if they went forward with this plan their fans would be right there with them like the braindead puppies they've always been. They won this round but like all things dealing with business and money, the powerful will prevail.
Also, is it normal for royals to share their opinions on business and social matters like this? I thought they were supposed to be above it all?

Um, the new league would only be lucrative if the same fans who are distraught continue to support it financially.
It's like people being OUTRAGED that the politicians they voted to elect don't actually do anything for them.
Stop giving them money, fools.
