So should there even be small market teams?

For sure.
In fact there should be more of them!
Off top should be a team in Seattle, Tampa, Vegas, Pittsburgh, Austin, St Louis, Baltimore, San Diego, anywhere that they want em.
Maybe 60 is too many but 50 seems reasonable, then split them into a Premier league plus whatever you wanna call the losers league.
Like in England most big market teams would be pretty secure in the top league a big part of the reason for that would be the threat of relegation and losing the premier league TV contracts and advertising revenue.

Lol man what
this shyt really got y’all thinkin the European football system is fair and balanced wow
it will
FIFA absolutely wants it to happen. If US Soccer and Mexican federation decide its a go.
This is a bit of a disengenous argument though. The PL still has to fight for viewers across the globe and internet. Their competition is never just limited to their country. It's not even limited to sports. They also have to battle Netflix and Disney+ for the next generation of fans. The options that every has isn't limited to just sports anymore.
For me, Pro/Rel is just a mechanism to ensure owners aren't just collecting checks and sitting on their hands, but there are zero permanent mechanisms from preventing a team from pulling another Philly or the Sterling Clippers or the current Timberwolves where they clearly haven't been trying for multiple years. That's just bad business and the NBA commissioner deserves to be shyt on for letting them get away with it and probably why they've lost a ton of fans. At least put something in place to prevent a purposefully losing team from making bank just by existing in a league with a good TV deal and collecting profit sharing. The NFL has a system that has at least manufactured parity to the point that only the Jets are still somehow fukking it up.

But plenty of fans attend games for teams that don't have a chance
James Dolan would be bankrupt right now otherwise

nothing to do with that but everything to do with how billionaires over here have no checks & balances on how they run their teams
owners get to bullshyt for years and still make a profit/don't face demotion for a poor job
I'm not even against Pro/Rel tbh but their system isn't all that great as most of the teams are poor, cash strapped, in debt, and there's a huge gap between the haves and the have nots way worse than the American way of doing things. So big is the gap that the "top dogs" wanted to split from the lesser clubs to form a Super League. Lets face facts, they'll always be shyt teams no matter what. There's no such thing as a good team without there being a bad team. Imo teams like the Timberwolves have been trying, the Kings have been trying. They just keep striking out in one way or the other. The lesser franchises in MLB are ten times worse. They literally dump players or keep their salaries to the lowest point possible. But the way the game is set up these days they can still win games and make the postseason like the Rays do. American leagues, mostly the NBA, is fighting for viewers worldwide as well and are up against streaming television just like the next guy. I've been to Europe & South America a couple of times and it was a different world from my point of view when there's no football, basketball, or baseball being discussed. Soccer/football runs the sporting world over there. That being the only big game in town and country definitely plays a part.
