This seems to be a trend in most countries that have younger leagues, and I'll never understand it. Instead of supporting their local clubs, some people would sooner wake up in the middle of the night to watch a billionaire's plaything on the other side of the planet that they have no real connection to, who have squads full of prima donnas and stands full of tourists because they've priced out the locals they're actually meant to represent.
To be fair, most Japanese clubs are owned by giant soulless corporations too...
