Although thats not entirely relevant to this discussion.
I dunno, seems like they both did a great job ####ing over Brazil.

One man’s China is another man’s Qatar.

They’re uniquely parasitic in that unlike most pro sports teams that bilk you for a stadium, they leave after a month.

At least the Big 4 Leagues stick around for decades.
