The salary cap makes the US sports so interesting. Every team has the same chances and this increases the level of attraction.
Every team doesn't even come close to having the same chance of winning lol.
thebeast12333 Well theoretically.
thebeast12333 hes saying it fair because everyone has the same amount of money to make a good team. If NFL got rid of the salary cap then the teams who make the most money would always win because they would have the money to pay all the top players. All the poorer stadiums wouldnt have a chance
Cooterbrown Exactly. If you look at La Liga in Spain for instance, the two top teams have won all but one of the last 10 years because their payroll doesn't even compare to recently promoted teams.
There is no salary cap in baseball and yet there is more parity in it than nba
I rolled my eyes when I saw the title but gave it a listen anyways.
All I can say is no. How is this even a discussion?
Colin literally made an argument for WHY there needs to be salary cap...
He pointed out that the biggest markets aren't the best teams, LA, DC, New York etc. That's the reason for a salary cap is to level the playing field so the richest teams can't go signing the 10 best players in the world to the same team and dominate every year. Particularly in Football.
The salary cap causes a revolving door of success in the NFL (except if you're Cleveland). Because the best teams can't just grab the best players and dominate.
Exactly
Did you really need to bash cleveland in that comment? I hate cleveland as much as the next guy but really? Lol
Nonsense - it doesn't level the playing field, it just allows teams to underpaying their players.
Dumb Dumber underpay? underpay? Give me one way any of the players are being underpaid. You do know with a salary cap comes a salary floor. meaning you have to field a team that cost atleast X amount of money.
ThePatriotChris Lebron James is underpaid! He is worth more than what he is paid right now - thats just a fact!
LA and New York would just buy all the talent and things would get really boring really fast
+Neb Nekkol Like they did in baseball right? Oh wait... they didn't.
Hiphopotomus Thats because baseball its hard to see if the new talent will fit ur team. Basketball u get one great player changes everything about ur team
Only fans of big market teams would agree with him
JuicyPlayer I'm a Chicago sports fan. My Cubbies don't win every year. The Sox don't win either. The Hawks are dynastic...but shouldn't the salary cap take away our advantage?? Salary cap IS pointless, but not from the reasons Colin says
Even before the curse was broken the Cubs are a team with deep pockets. The Curse was just the result of really bad luck and mismanagement even with tons of cash. The Cubs will always have an advantage over a team like the Rays just with their TV money alone.
JuicyPlayer yeah I know about the bad management and the team history. The Rays would do a lot better if their fans cared and watched the games on tv or went to them. Look at Boston: not America's largest market at all, and they have a lot of money because of their TV ratings. That's one of the few smart things the Wrigleys did before selling the franchise to the Tribune company, they aired the games across the country giving the Cubs a nationwide fanbase. Same with the Red Sox and also the Cardinals I believe
JuicyPlayer A lot of the revenue and payrolls comes from TV deals. That's the most important thing. Now that the Indians are good again their fans in Ohio will watch them again and they should get more revenue
famguy218 The Rays actually have high ratings on TV they are right around the top 10.
I usually agree with Colin Cowherd but not on this topic. The reason why the small market teams can win IS the salary cap. Without it, Melo + James + Durant + Davis + Curry would be playing for NY (or LA) together. SA for example would get swept in the finals...
Eli F.M. But they wouldn't have to settle for less money if the Salary cap was removed. The lakers would sign all the best players at what ever price they wanted.
Jasmin Mustedanagic we don’t want small market teams.
This prediction is aged well
80% of European soccer-matches can be predicted by how much money the teams spend. Leicester is a milleniel event...!
+Frederik Wulff You are 100% correct!
ucl?
@@yy-vm3we yes ucl. There are upsets but even then its from big name teams
This has to be the dumbest argument I've ever heard
I didn’t hear 1 reason to remove the salary caps.
We need the salary cap, look at baseball in 2017. Every team that made it past the divisional round is a team playing in a MASSIVE market
If you get rid of the salary cap you get what happens in soccer, especially spain, where only Barcelona and Real Madrid ever have a chance at winning because they have the money and prestige to get the best players
Colin argued that teams needs to be in big markets to thrive, yet he's defending them now. Lol. This guy is more of a contradiction than Skip
Jonny Gomes played in 12 games this year for the Royals after being traded by Atlanta and had exactly ZERO post-season at bats
as much as i would love for the blackhawks to hav kept Saad, Sharp Bolland and others.
I love the salary cap, boring when one rich team just keeps on winning if it is my team.
She is so hot
JustMethodz that's a guy, how do you not know Colin Cowherd
Thats ALL she is, unfortunately
This is why we need checks and balances.
You can't let one person or one mindset make all the decisions.
Collin is clearly wrong on this one, but on many things he is right. But here, he needs to be checked. Salary cap is working well for the NFL.
I agree money won’t make your team better but not having money definitely won’t make your team better and you’ll never be good because all your good players will leave when they get noticed like in soccer
If there was a salary cap in college then alabama wouldn't win so many championships.
The reason all those small teams are competitive and can actually win a title is because there is a salary cap. If you remove the salary cap, the bigger franchises will take the majority of superstars as they can offer a lot more cash. This will quickly reduce the competitiveness of the league and limit the amount potential winners every year. Take the obvious example of soccer. Excusing Leicester City, when was the last time even a "medium" franchise won the league?
Leicester City is a club, it's not a franchise.
The Red Sphinx What's the difference?
Carl Larcher get rid of the small market teams then. If you can’t compete fairly, without a system rigged in your favour, why are you here?
This is the dumbest thing I've seen, the salary cap should be implemented in every league so championships aren't bought, they're earned. In the MLB there was a period of just having the Yankees win the World Series because the owner was loaded and bought the best players, that's why it hasn't been able to compete with the NFL and NBA because usually every team is equally competitive and has an equal chance to win, that's why there's way more great games played in the NFL's 17 week season where every team only plays 16 games than the MLB where they play almost 200 games
Up until you draft well and do everything right as an organization and have to get rid of players because the salary cap forces you too
totally agree
Wow, what a bad idea...I'm french and I love football (soccer...) and it's getting worse and worse. There is no draft, no salary cap, no rules... Imagine : you can have the "number one pick of the draft" every year, you just have to buy this player to his school. Paris (owned by Qatar) just paid 180M€ for Mbappé. A 18 year-old guy. Last summer, the most expensive player of all time was Pogba for 115M€ and this week they pay 180M€ for a 18 year-old guy... And you know what ? Less than one month ago, they paid 222M€ for Neymar Jr. They did not have to make a trade and send a player in return, or anything. They just paid 222M€ to buy the player. 180M€ and 222M€ in just a few weeks. And they are now one of the best team in Europe.
And guess what ? Last year Nike paid Paris 30M€ a year to wear Nike jerseys. Now, with all these stars, they will pay 80 to 100M€ a year. So the rich get richer. So Paris will be able to buy even more players next year. (There are teams competing against Paris in France national league, that have a total budget of 20M€ for the entire year...)
That's what you get when you have no rules. Rich teams buying all the best players. Imagine Prokhorov (owner of the Brooklyn nets, one of the richest guy in the world) just buying Lebron, Durant, Kawhi, Davis, Curry, Kyrie... Well he would have done it if he could. Abramovitch (one of the richest guy in the world, owner of Chelsea FC in Europe) did it.
I wake up in the middle of the night to watch NBA games instead of football (soccer...), don't ruin it by getting rid of the salary cap. Please don't make it pay to win, it's sport, not clash of clan.
One note (I'm European as well), I think a draft system would violate European Union labor laws.
i like the salary cap but i think leagues should reward teams that draft well. maybe have a special designation for players that are drafted and have their salary count as half? idk but i think its something to consider
I don't want no Real Madrid and Barcelona in the NFL... two teams winning everything. Why? Because they buy all the good players!
"Nashville not far from Tennessee"
listen for context. he is talking about football schools
betbjork You're an idiot too. Tennessee is 3 hours away from Nashville AND they have their own SEC school in Vandy. Don't act like you know anything.
The reason the crowd was so big was because half of Omaha and Lincoln showed up as well lol
At the end of the day the salary cap exists solely so the owners can pocket more money rather than giving players what they really deserve. The argument of it helping small market teams is absolute nonsense. There are 2 or 3 realistic contenders every season pretty much like most other sports the only difference being is that the owners pocket the extra money.
Every season yes, but those 2 or 3 change from time to time. Wanna now how many teams won the soccer championship (no.1 sport in my country) in last 27 years? 3. And one of those 3 won it just once. Other 26 times, those other two teams won. And want to take a guess where are those teams from? You guessed it, they're from the capital city, which is also the biggest in the country.
The players already make way more than they deserve mate.
I was at the parade and parking ran out so people started parking on the highway!
just look at European soccer, the same teams win every year and those are the ones with tons of money and can buy all the talent in the world. In Spain it's Real Madrid or Barcelona, in UK it's Manchester City or Chelsea, in Germany it's undisputed Bayern Munich etc etc. You wanna know who's going to win the league in the next season? just take a look at their bank account and you'll know the champion before the season starts.
If you want competitiveness, then the spending MUST be on equal grounds
Except European Football doesnt have a player draft. And in German football the 50 plus 1 rule exists with the idea that it prevent big spenders from taking over teams yet Bayern and Dortmund have usually dominated still.
Let's see 27 Yankees titles and 2 for Kansas City. But because they won it last year, that somehow all of a sudden means that money doesn't buy championships in baseball....puhleez....
Yankees have won most of those titles when there were only 16 teams. Now there are 30.
3:58 when u NUT too quick and try to play it off 😅💀
was waiting for that laker shot at the end lmfao
0:50 Cubs victory parade had 5 million people
I mean there are 2.4 million people in the KC metro area. In KC proper there are 400,000 tho. Impressive none the less!
great vid
I think the Mls should get rid of the salary cap to compete with the European leagues
If they what to compete they got to make shure people come to the games, attention media wise got to be higher first take, undisputed and those sport shows doesn't cover it at all and a really big part is the talent part you got to produce your owen talents and let them become stars. If you don't get those thinks going it would be a market like Russia or China its already the case that western europe isn't the place in world soccer with the highest wages but China and Russia don't have a chances competing with Europe anywise. So at the end you got to pay the stars to stay but first you got to build them than give them the audience and Media that pays them worthy attention and than pay them the big bugs.
getting players from college teams is actually what hurts the mls around the world teams get there star players at youth clubs and academys around the ages of 16 -18 and let them grow untill they are ready for the a squad, you have to start in early primary school with your career if you want to reach top level in the rest of the world
If they were to get rid of the salary cap: HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS?
What is Eprosoke Training Program? We have noticed numerous awesome things about this popular training course.
They say free market
no, why would you do that? the salary cap gives small market teams a chance, especially in basketball.
You love to hate on usc but....................... 12 national championship
bob bonpo All of those before Southern schools were given a fair chance at the championship every year. How many titles have y'all had in the last 20 years?
Sry you're wrong about that one. I'm from europe where there is no salary cap in professional sport and the same teams in europe dominate for decades, I'd have to say the salary cap and the draft system are the things that I like the most about the system of american sports. You literally cannot stay superdominant for more than 5 years I'd say because at some point your stars are free agents and other teams can offer them way more money than you can. This provides constant change and unpredictability which things that make sport so addictive. If not for salary cap and draft the richest teams in the biggest markets would just share the championships among themselves. I find it funny that america of all countries has a kinda socialist sport system.
There's no salary cap in baseball and yet parity is better than the NBA
If you get rid of the salary cap then the biggest markets like LA NYC and Miami would be the only good teams in any sport. It'll just be like Europe soccer where there's only a few real contenders
Might be fine for baseball and NFL. This wouldn't work for the NBA. Last thing we need is even less parity my god it's already pretty bad...
Harry Garris it's the worst with NFL
Jermy Carmichael no you definitely don’t watch Basketball
A salary cap is a reduction in the salaries of players. The league is eventually culled.
If the salary cap goes away the NFL will turn into European soccer leagues where only 2 to 6 teams in each league can win a title each year
but look at the cl. the cl the cream of the crop always is competetive
Salary cap or not, No such thing as guaranteed contract in the NFL.
Did he just say overseas for manu ginobili? 😂😂 may I remnd you Argentina is in the American continent?
If there's no salary cap it will be like in European football, for example in the Premier League and La Liga where only the big fish always win.
Those leagues don't have a draft.
Well yes but South Bend is just outside the third biggest media market in our nation Chicago. On the point about the Longhorns and Baylor Waco is just outside a much bigger market then Austin, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex These universities are all right next to major markets
Isn't this why there should be a salary cap? Is the title off?
they should make it bigger buy not get rid of it
I always found the salary cap to be stupid. Just because you spend a bunch of money doesnt guarantee a title just look at the Dodgers and Redskins.
wee need the salary cap in europe (soccer) look at teams like real madrid, man united, chelsea, psg, man city. they spent a lot of money anually
I agree with this. I'm sick of the salary cap.
Not trying to call him out, but STL Cardinals have a LOT of cash from a TV deal and fan attendance. Reportedly over the next 3-5 years, they can increase their payroll up to the 160-180 Million dollar range.
Colin literally just made the argument why there should be a salary cap
not having a salary cap is literally why the Yankees are always good. You need a salary cap to have parity. His argument makes no sense; having a salary cap is WHY small markets like Green Bay can perform well in the league
The salary cap is easy to get around. It's only purpose is the give cover for teams not to spend. Look at the Rams. They are about to turn a negative salary cap into 70 million plus because the owner isn't afraid to do what needs to be done
Johnny Gomes just explained to everyone why the Royals are one of the most disliked teams
I don't think the royals are a very hated team by any stretch of the imagination....
+Sports Talk With Geo Please tell how the royals can't lose gracefully?
Hell no
I completely disagree with this point. The reason the Yankees can win 5 world series in a row is because of their ability to buy talent. The Milwaukee Brewers couldn't even dream of winning 5 in a row, let alone one.
Colin and her definitely have hooked up lol
I feel like he didn't provide reasons for getting rid of the salary cap. He just said small market teams can win. That doesn't mean much. Parity is important in sports, salary caps, like the NFL's promote parity. The NBA's cap goes up so much from year to year, the salaries have not caught up yet, so parity has not been achieved yet.
In European soccer, there is no salary cap. The same teams win the championships and make the playoffs, every year. When Leicester won the premier league, it was potentially the biggest miracle in sports history. The great thing about the salary cap is that every team has a legitimate chance of winning. Even with the salary cap, the Yankees, the Celtics, lakers, etc. have won the most championships, but the royals and the packers are small market teams but can compete which makes their respective sport so much better. If you want to see the NY Giants, yankees, and lakers win every year, then maybe the salary cap isnt for you
No playoffs in European league football, except the Champions League and the National Cups.
Just cancel it all it's ridiculous
Yeah cause wouldn't it be fun for big market teams to just buy all the good players in all pro sports? Oh wait no that would suck.
One thing I like more about the NFL than La Liga and most of the other Football, or 'Soccer' leagues, is that the rich teams don't always win. Without salary cap, how would a place like Buffalo ever even come close to the other teams in the league (Yes I know they haven't made the playoffs in like a thousand years but you get the point)? I hate seeing the same two or three teams per league win each and every year at least 9 times out of 10. In the La Liga only 5 teams have ever won the title more than twice. Real Madrid and Barcelona have won it a combined 56 times.
Well he's right in that salary cap is pointless, but money is from television deals. He's wrong in everything else, the St. Louis Cardinals signed a billion dollar tv deal. I hate the Cardinals, but they prove that having loyal fans and high tv ratings can take out the advantages of a big market.
NO. Just NO
If you can get rid of salary caps, then you need to add promotion and relegation in the league.
Hey kc isn’t that little lol. World Series was nuts though. People just stopped on the freeway and got out of there cars and stopped the whole freeway
Love the commentary, but Colin needs a towel near by for his mouth.
I was about to say, he needs a pop filter or some shit
You don't want money in sports, take it from a European football fan.
In the NFL it wouldn't impact as much, but in MLB it is very important
Austin has a higher GPA requirement than any of those teams that are "doing good"...
Cap salaries but cap ticket prices along with them.
just no
Yep that's what I want the teams in the biggest markets to win the super bowl every time again. At least the patriots do it because they have it figured out not because of locale.
People talk about the NFL having all this parity (because of the salary cap), but look at the last 3 years. Let's start with the 2013 season: The Seahawks (13-3, #1 seed) defeated the 49ers (#5 seed, but a 12-4 record & the reigning NFC champions) in the NFC Championship Game, & the Broncos (13-3, #1 seed) defeated the Patriots (12-4, #2 seed) in the AFC Championship Game. 2014 season: The Seahawks (12-4, #1 seed) defeated the Packers (12-4, #2 seed) in the NFC Championship Game. While the 4th seeded Colts (11-5) did upset the 2nd seeded Broncos (12-4) to make it to the AFC Championship Game, they then proceeded to get their asses kicked by the #1 seeded Patriots (12-4), a team that has been at or near the top of the NFL for the last (roughly) 15 years. This year, both Conference Championship Games featured the top 2 seeds (#1 seed 15-1 Panthers over #2 seed 13-3 Cardinals in the NFC, & #1 seed 12-4 Broncos over #2 seed 12-4 Patriots in the AFC). If this were baseball, people would be up in arms about a lack of parity
Ellande Campbell the point is that there are different teams every year winning instead of the same team winning over multiple decades
Did this guy even watch Moneyball smh
+Godzillatank this is excatly what he is talking about. what the fuck is wrong with you. Did you even watch moneyball? did you even watch the video?
If NFL had a salary cap it would be less interesting and the rich teams will always be around the top. A team with less money may have a good season every once in a while but then their players will be taken by a richer team if they aren't a team player.
In order to eliminate the Salary Cap every team should just pool the profits and split them equally, that way everyone has the same "budget" with no salary cap.
Jose W. Velazquez they already did that it's called revenue sharing
no salary cap, no competition. You'll have the same two or three teams playing in Superbowl every year, thanks but no thanks.
If the NBA didn't have a salary cap, I would never see my Kings win a championship in my lifetime (granted, still probably won't) but places like Sacramento aren't a destination for stars. You can throw all the money in the world at a guy like durant or Lebron, they would still go to somewhere like Miami or LA for a little less money than Sacramento or Phoenix is offering
Yall are definitely not getting what he is saying the leagues that don't have a salary cap not all big city teams will be successful just because they don't have a salary cap they will most likely get too careless with the money because of the steady lumps of money instead of a team that has to budget and make sure they hit on the players they have
if every league had a salary cap system like the NHL, no one would complain. but players are too selfish to take paycuts or play for small market teams to actually have a competitive league.
I'm sorry, Colin literally argued earlier against small markets and how they aren't necessary, now he argues how amazing they are?
This would probably work in any league not he NBA... talent is too large of a factor in who wins. Not enough randomness
Colin is so wrong here and he contradicts himself when he did a "draft" of where he would put NFL teams, starting with New York twice and Los Angeles twice (no Pittsburgh or Green Bay) all based on market size -- which one is it? Money is part of the equation and there is an advantage to teams with larger revenue streams, but the equation has a multitude of other factors and it's ignorant to presume otherwise.
I'm so confused by the point he's making
Ke$ha!
Having a salary exposes bad GMs. If Jose Morunhino didnt have the freedom to spend how much he did how would we be seeing him. Without a salary cap only two or three teams contend for playoffs and you would also have sub 500 teams in playoffs as well
I feel like he actually proved WHY the salary cap has worked...its proving to make sure the big cities dont win it all the time like La Liga, EPL, Bundasliga , etc.
what adds to footballs parity isn't salary cap, it's the fact you are one and done in the playoffs. any other sport has multiple game series to determine the outcome. literally anyone can win any day in football.
Exactly. MLB has no salary cap and it's parity is better than the NBA. At the end of the day alot of it has to do with how the sport is designed. One-and -done will always have tons of parity and sports like basketball where one guy can be the difference between making the finals or missing the playoffs is the real factor.
colin, you brought up how you think the salary cap should be gone but you never brought up how you think is it bad or ruining leagues
might as well cut all the leagues if half then
No BC teams like the Dallas cowboys are gonna dominate
they arent good but if u let the big market teams just spend whatever theu want they will buy all the good talent..I think there neess to be stricter rules on the salary caps most sport have them and it still dont stoo teams like the yankees and the cavs from soending more than the cap. the cap is the top no more than that if u cant sign players and stay under thats ur prob better find diffrent players or restructure deals or whatever. and if u go over cap ur not allowed to play in the olayoffs. I also think there should be a base salary for everyone in lets us the nfl for example. everyone get a base salary of lets say 8 mil a year and everything else is preformance based u get extra for x amout of yards x amount of tackles and so on
I watch these videos because of that co host... she's my celebrity crush.
