Because they can buy more easily a home game from a team with less publicity and income. Also the game will be held in the end of december, where we'll most likely have 60k viewers allowed to attend.The question is why not a Barca home game, considering you know what.
This is terrible, games outside the home country of the league.
I know it's older men yelling at clouds, and football was always commercialised, but it's really gone past a tipping point.
Lol that is pretty shameless. Football is in a bad way right now.Villarreal will earn 6m ish. Barcelona 5m.
According to Villarreal CEO, there may not be football in Villarreal in the future without that extra 6m.
Absolutely Shameless.
That's true, but don't you think that football is a different culture? Like American sports have always felt commercialised even in the early days, whereas European football clubs have stronger roots with the community and are generally older.Get with the future folks.
NFL eat and plays games over seas
NBA is next.

Or do you just consider that me being a bit too traditionalist?
Khaled reply put it well
Fair enough. Not very familiar with American sport stuff. Thanks khaled.Americans has their own traditions too. Look how long it took them to put sponsors on their jerseys.
Even Barca gave up long before them. Afaik they were also a bit late in embracing gambling in sports, possibly ads by alcohols beverages too (last two I am not sure tbh, open for correction).
At the end, everyone look around and ask why shouldn't they exploit those money streams whlie others do.
