This article looks at the contrast between the English Premier League and the NFL, and explores why the NFL would love to have days like "Survival Sunday", but never ...
I love football. I hate what is called 'football'. It is regarded as a purely Americanism, but to defend it, the Americans got it originally from the English term, so it's not a big deal in my eyes.
I also love NFL.Dvije games are very different both in structure and appeal, and in this article I want to examine the differences that drove home on Sunday, May 22, 2011 in the English Premier League. I'll tell you what you read on, I'll be using 'football' and 'NFL' to define the two sports. Ok, ready? Let ...
22 May 2011 was called "Survival Sunday" in the English Premier League. Each season, 3 of the 20 teams are relegated to the division below. This is based on the end of the table after each team has played each other twice.
On the last day of the 2010/11 season, a team already relegated, but any of the other five teams could have finished in the bottom of the other 2 places. It all depends on the results of the final day of play.
Relegation from Premier League was a disaster for any team. Not only losing about $ 70 million in television money, but they lose their top quality players who have played in the top league.
These two factors are enough to get back in the league difficult, although it is possible to get promoted straight back up again next season.
'Survival Sunday' is great. The goals flew across the relevant games, and the expulsion of the remaining 2 slots changed more and more between the teams.
fans went from elation to despair and back again. There could hardly be a better example of why so many people love the sport -. It connects emotion and real life
NFL simply does not provide the same scenario. No league structure in which any team could get relegated / promoted. Each team's franchise center business, you can not just start your own team and work your way up.
Many top teams were knocked out in nogometu.Neizvjestan financial balance of many teams can come crashing down with alarming speed, a name that makes a fixture in the top flight may find yourself going through the trap door from the division.
Can you imagine the Dallas Cowboys, the self proclaimed "Team America", as relegated to a lower level? No, this is what stops a real grass roots development of the NFL outside the United States.
NFL, National Football League, was founded as a business, structured (in the same way as the game itself) in a way that has spectacle sport as a package. Also act like a combination of tactics, and sports.
playoff system does not provide the element of sudden death knockout in the season, but if the team loses, they know they have to try again next season.
Not so in the Premier League, where failure will send you to the top flight for the entire season at least. Who knows, maybe dropping the * never * be back in the top division.
This is what the NFL is missing. I like to watch the excitement of the first day of the NFL season to the playoffs and the Superbowl, but I think it will always be jealous of the "Survival Sunday", and that the card is the Premier League still be used as a trump card.
