I have to disagree - the Patriots winning the Superbowl or Brazil winning the World Cup are not events that "gratify one's intellectual curiosity." A tussle between the Premier League and the leading football clubs in England is fascinating for a number of reasons.

People in this country love football and this proposal raises an important question - to what degree should governments intervene when the free market is working against the preferences of the electorate.
