That's like an American sports fan saying 'I don't understand how there's any more drama in leagues with no post-season'. To them the idea that a team can win the competition weeks before the season ends by not even playing a game and just waiting for another team to lose would seem pretty boring.
Ultimately the American system and the English system a so different, comparisons like this are pointless, especially when you consider 'drama' is entirely subjective anyway.
Airlie has hit the nail on the head a couple of times in this and a previous post. I'm fully exposed to sports both side of the Pond fortunately, and whilst City and football is as near as life and death as I'll ever get with sports, I'm one that generally prefers to have a team to follow to watch a sport, so I follow various US franchises for different reasons (I don't pick at random) and believe me there is regular drama everywhere. College sport in the US is a whole different conversation, e.g. there is more proper drama in March Madness than in any Pro Sport in the US imho and I love it. Its just so different as Airlie says, fine to compare but unfair to say which is better or worse, they are just simply different. Tomato, Tomato.
Post season is a cup competition in effect, and there are several cup competitions here. And of course there are playoffs for some of the teams here too. That's one of the reasons why the top of the first tier isn't as interesting as all that goes on at the top of other divisions.
thats the reason they love the PL, cos there is more drama in our league, I didnt mean more in theirs!
But to win the post season is the one and only pinnacle of that sport, its not a secondary competition like the FA or League cup that runs alongside the main competition and that teams don't take seriously, nor is it a play-off for promotion between the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th best teams in the lower tiers.
We have nothing like it in England, there's no point trying to argue that we do.
