i think people rightly saw it as putting the sport on a track towards what you describe. english soccer fans weren’t rioting bcuz they were protective of the champions league it was bcuz they thought the super league was a death sentence for the concept of the sport being based around leagues in individual countries

"a death sentence for the concept of the sport being based around leagues in individual countries" and "something more existential to the nature of soccer" are not synonymous statements, and in this case the first one doesnt really make sense since it was an international competition anyway

furthermore the free pass was exactly the crux of the issue it was a powerplay by the top teams, rather than having to compete on a level playing field in the context of a unbiased league the top teams just wanted to own the competition, which very much does represent an existential threat to how the game is organized
whereas my model is just another layer on the already existing unbiased league system, it doesnt offer the top teams the power they want, they still have to go out there and win just like everyone else

which is not to say that soccers fans wouldnt hate it, im sure they would, but i dont care its a good idea, its for the good of the game and they have to do it

ok maybe our wires are crossed here im not talking about your idea if that’s what you think im referring to as an “existential threat.” i’m talking about the actual super league that was formed and then dissolved

if the leaders of european soccer could make decisions w/o any repercussions from public opinion i think they would love to do what you are proposing

There was one point late in the game where the Pels were in rotation and Dray was wide open at the top of the key for a three. Dyson Daniels was supposed to rotate to Dray, but he didn’t even bother, just went to cover the next pass.
