Its also very different transfer set up.
The Big draft system out of college and the send a player down sort of system all feeds into a set of sports that are heavily regulated with salary caps and transfer caps. Players are traded rathen the sold for vast sums.
Its a franchise model as far as i am aware so not one team has to stay anywhere and theres lots of teams that have moved for a better stadium deal or more moeny on offer from another city.
Here we have a fan base that would burn their club to the gorund with the owners in it rather than let it move. theres no examples of a really succerssful move. Theres mk dons, theres the merge of brighton and hov that formed a clu bthat sturrgled for years etc.
We have a transfer market thats largely unregulated and even less so in other parts of the world. Its trasfer of registration papers os its wide ope nto absue and co-owners and massive fees etc.
We have uncapped salaries
we have image rights and other payments under the table going on across the board.
Its the wild west.
