Last time I checked, that wasn't a rule in the NFL. In your argument, wouldn't it be more like give the regular season champ the trophy because they earned it?


You're right, it's not a rule. Because America in general understands how the word fair applies to sports

So "fair" means the champion of this particular league not getting the opportunity to defend its title? I mean .. in America teams get the chance to do that every season. You're failing to acknowledge that the Champions League is a separate entity from the Premier League, La Liga, etc. It makes the rules at it pleases and teams abide as they're presented.

ETA: Spurs have themselves to blame for that extended run of shite form they had

They should have a poll to decide who gets in, like the BCS. It's the only fair way to do it.

Do you follow college football...?

I think this is very "fair." a champion should have a right to defend their title as should the champion of various league have the right to challenge the current title holder and champions of other leagues.
How is this in anyway unfair. finish in the top three you get a guaranteed birth. seems pretty simple.
