Reply to comment by BaldDudeFromBrazzers in [Official Source] New York Yankees president Randy Levine joins AC Milan's board of directors by ShitPostQuokkaRome

Does Serie A have the most parity? Seems like teams win the league and then 2 seasons later finish like 9th or something.

Juventus had a crazy run for awhile but lately seems up and down. Napoli looked terrible recently and they're well ahead in 1st now.

Back in the 80-early90s yes, Juventus, Inter, Milan, Roma, Napoli, Sampdoria, Hellas Verona, Lazio, all won in that period - then it became less equal, then monopolised, now it's the most equal of the five European leagues.

PL has been the most even after Sir Alex Ferguson period and before Guardiola period. Now City dominates with the occasional hiccup.

Overall, in terms of parity in a long time span I'd put Ligue 1 > PL > Serie A > LaLiga > Bundesliga

Current form Serie A > PL > LaLiga > Ligue 1 >> Bundesliga.

Then there is Brazil, the most equal of them all, now and ever.

If Brazilian economy didn't go down the gutter they could have been one of the poles of football.

In terms of quality and European football Italy is the worst league. Ever since Juventus has fell out of the Champions League, not Italian team has really taken their place

From 2011-2012 season up until the 2019-2020 season juventus won 9 straight championships. The last two years juventus have had problems which have let other teams win. Juventus have just been hit with a 15 point reduction this season and they have quite an old team, so the league is now coming into a place where they have more parity.

Juve built their own stadium so they swimming in cash while other teams play in rented stadium so they have to pay rent.

San Siro isn't owned by either Inter or AC?

Slightly pedantic, but AC just means football club. If you want to shorten AC Milan's name just Milan is fine, people will know what you mean

They're going to build a new stadium, now owned by both

The San Siro has been for a long ass time the stadium of the city of Milan, from back when football wasn't professional still. So they kept continuously the ownership. Bureaucracy, a hellbent city administration, etc but now the situation of San Siro got so bad, and the city ownership of stadiums is so disliked, and the city administration got a bit more open minded, that they approved plans to the building of a stadium in another part of the city. All self financed by AC Milan and Inter, but they'll have the full ownership of the stadium. Will be called cathedral or something, kinda pretty stadium.
