Spain is a failing country. Their economy is in shambles and the government has ceded internet control to a private corporation who runs football games.

>Their economy is in shambles

But it's among the fastest growing in the EU? Granted, part of this is starting from a low base, but it's hardly "in shambles"

Spain isn't a perfect country, I don't think any is. But the economy isn't in shambles, only someone who doesn't know what they're talking about would say anything like that. It does suck that La Liga can wield so much power, agree, but this is not related to the economy at all...
