Description:

It has been one of the most spectacular collapses in sports history. On Sunday, many of the world's largest soccer clubs announced that they were forming a new 'Super League' -- by invitation only, and accessible only to the wealthiest and most historic teams in the land. But then came the backlash. Fans, players, managers, sponsors, pundits, and non-participating teams cried foul and created such an uproar that, within just two days, the league had all but fallen apart. The Athletic's Adam Crafton has been covering the fast-moving story up close, and he joins us today to discuss the remarkable rise and fall of Europe's most ambitious -- and most short-lived -- soccer league.
