This guy doesnt have a fricking clue about mathematics or sports. What if all teams were 7-7 at the end of the competition?
"The second kind is the American league, and the dedication to Mammon dictates a convoluted finale that involves wild-cards and play-offs. Even there though, there's a sense of fairness, and reward for excellence during the course of the regular season."
This is utter bullshit. In american football, technically a team with a *losing* record can win the superbowl - this is impossible in IPL unless you have less than 8 teams (the diff is that american sports have divisions... if you arrange the teams only in terms of record like the IPL does, you cant have losers in the top half). Also, american football has one of the unfairest game rules in sports (*), that first to score wins in overtime -- which means the team who wins the coin toss gets to win ~2/3 times.
(*) ok, nothing compared to the pre-D/L highest scoring overs method.
