Because capitalism is about money not "winning" and ultimately the MLB/NBA/NFL model is more profitable since its incredibly anti-competitive and monopolistic.

More profitable for the leagues, that is, and they are the people making the decisions. When I say anti-competitive and monopolistic I mean in terms of other leagues. It is good for competition game-wise.

They believe in Freedom, everyone can do what they want. Which comes to play in almost every parts of life. Communism limits that by saying everyone is equal. Kinda, you know what i mean (i hope). :/
Even national law by the state is restricting, therefore no healthcare by the state and so on... Everyone has the right and freedom to make their own decisions.

On the other hand at sports it ruins the competition if a team is much stronger than any other and keeps getting stronger because they are strong. Therefor the rules of drafting and salary caps, to keep the sport competetive and exciting.


*as asked a stupid question, this answer contains stupid knowlegde which is already present :/

After long periods of sitting, upon standing your body has a rapid change of bloodflow -- the blood that has pooled in your lower body due to gravity is suddenly redistributed more evenly throughout the body. This quick change in bloodflow causes a sudden drop in blood pressure (upon standing, venous return is decreased, causing decreased cardiac output and a subsequent drop in arterial pressure), known as hypotension. This is especially prevalent in those who are elderly or already have low blood pressure. The drop in blood pressure that occurs from changing posture is specifically referred to as orthostatic hypotension. The temporary loss of vision that you may experience is simply the result of the eyes not receiving enough oxygen from your blood supply while your body attempts to restore normal blood pressure.

But I actually prefer [UoN]Sentinel's response.

I spend a lot of time in public bathrooms (gym, road trips, work - getting paid to poop is fantastic) - and enter a recursive cycle of awkwardness in toilets leading me into stupid situations which induce more awkwardness in toilets.

No, just narcissistic.

If I could ever clone myself, I'd definitely have sex with the clone.

If you get your clone pregnant, will the baby have mental issues?

Painting the room purple will give the room the illusion of space, making it seem bigger than it actually is. Def go with purple.
