Aren’t they both owned by pompous rich dudes and private equity, like most companies? Tasty is the boot we enjoy licking.

Everything is owned by rich people, is your solution to not enjoy anything?

Actually in countries like Portugal or Germany, most clubs are owned by its members (or at the very least, 51% owned by its members), which can e.g. vote on its president.

You're not totally wrong about the 51% thing (although it's really 50% + 1 vote), but it's not like that is a panacea that keeps out corporate interests. Leverkusen and Wolfsberg are owned by Bayer and Volkswagen respectively (although I understand there's historical reasons for that) and Leipzig is 99% owned by Red Bull, but they only have 50% - 1 voting rights to comply.

Arsenal's owned by Stan Kroenke. Chelsea by Todd Boehly the LA Dodgers guy.
