Super League
Elite clubs' rebellion
Super League refers to elite-tier competitions in various sports, particularly rugby league in Europe and Australia.
The term gained notoriety in 2021 when twelve major European football clubs announced a breakaway Super League, widely condemned as a threat to traditional competition structures and sporting merit.
The proposal collapsed within days amid fierce backlash from fans, players, and governments.
The Super League fiasco united fans against billionaire owners.
