Without teams vying for the top four spots in each domestic league, the season will be more meaningless. It’s one of the main reasons a 20-team league can maintain drama and interest.

I predict a Peacock Plus channel to carry the games. Only $7.99 a month!

The leagues should swing back — there are myriad ways to delegitimize their operation.

Interesting that the owners make this move after the power vacuum created by the FIFA scandal. Probably also goes a long way toward explaining why UEFA went so softly on Manchester City by rescinding their ban from European play.
