I am very surprised at how less passionate for their favorite team is people from the us compared to Argentina

I cant even imagine what would have happened here if a star like luka doncic is gifted away for nothing

Riots...kidnappings ...probably killings hahaha... u mean football/soccer or basketball in Argentina if so I'm not up to date and my apologies 

[argentinaworldchampion]

football, of course. football (the real one) is our religion.

why is this not investigated for corruption, fraud or something like this? I mean, this is something I think I never seen before, such a lopsided trade.

I’m german and american as well. It’s just a different mentality. In most of the world, sports teams are clubs. They have huge history and they are attached to a city. 
 

I’m american sports, most sports are franchises. The people are used to franchises moving to different cities, getting new owners and stuff. 
 

In Europe, for the most part, sports teams are owned by the people basically. You have memberships and stuff. 

 

You could kinda compare sports teams to college sports in the US. That’s where the people identify with a team. 

 

And last part. Because sports is more of an entertainment product, they actually want stuff like this to happen and actually i would t rule out if Commissioners have some say in these blockbusters

Teams around the league, including the Los Angeles Lakers, Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks, and Utah Jazz, could show interest in Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis if Boston trades him, per source. Boston is very likely to trade Porzingis due to their financial situation.

i know, english fans are like us in many ways. have been there a few times, awesome london and edinburgh. cardiff is not that nice as a city, but people are the nicest of all 3.

i said one time to my friend that I think english are now the most passionate fans in whole europe, even more than italians. i remember the euro 2020 brit fans were really destroying everything there

and I loved that some of your compatriots supported us in the world final vs france

i think it would be illegal for comissioners to be involved

yes, i think the fact they are "franchises", owners, corrupt refs and comissioners and how fans are not really passionate is a huge turn off
