There is no point to football, it just goes on every season, what makes this season so important that it needs to be finished?
That’s like asking why bother finishing a book or a movie. Except in those cases you generally don’t invest literally days of your time into it.
More than anything, continuity. Just makes it so much simpler to get going next season.
I find the impact money has so fascinating. See how it informs very different outcomes
- big ongoing TV contract in England forces teams to finish season
- in France, tiny contract now but huge contracts starting in August, so league chose to end in order to focus on being able to start in time for the new contract
- English women: hardly any money, just cancel current season.
For the women, it’s more or less the same clubs as in men’s game. If we would like to believe a principles-based approach was employed, then the principle is CREAM.
