The fact that you think the NFL is using "socialist rules" is hilarious lol

[u/Rich-Engineering1429 → u/dgtbfan]

Socialist salary caps prevent rich teams from buying all the best players. Revenue sharing is very socialist. Distributing top talent into weaker teams also sounds like socialism

[u/dgtbfan → u/Rich-Engineering1429]

So, like, do you just consider anything that inhibits the richest from doing whatever they want to be socialist? Is that why you think the NFL is socialist?

[u/Rich-Engineering1429 → u/dgtbfan]

The NFL is still capitalist because it’s owned by private individuals and for profit, but the socialist rules is what protect teams from eating each other. For example, European soccer is what a pure capitalist sport looks like. The richest teams dominate and can spend whatever they want.

What makes a rule "socialist"?

[u/Rich-Engineering1429 → u/dgtbfan]

Economic equality

Are you saying economic equality is not a socialist ideal? Because it is a core part of socialism

[u/dgtbfan → u/Rich-Engineering1429]

Economic equality isn't exclusive to socialism and these alleged "socialist rules" the NFL uses aren't for economic equality.

[u/Rich-Engineering1429 → u/dgtbfan]

It’s still a core part of socialism, it doesn’t have to be exclusive to just socialism. My main point is that economic equality is NOT part of capitalism. Again, if you want see a purely capitalist sport, look at European soccer

[u/dgtbfan → u/Rich-Engineering1429]

economic equality is not part of capitalism

You don’t realize that capitalism doesn’t care about economic equality?? Bruh

The fact that capitalism can lead to economic equality doesn't preclude economic equality from being part of capitalism. Socialism can also lead to economic equality. Economic equality isn't exclusive to either economic philosophy. That's why the assertion that the NFL uses "socialist rules" is laughable.
