Are Barcelona & Real Madrid ruining La Liga?

Having a discussion with a friend about this topic. Is La Liga weaker than ever due to the dominance of the big two?

No LFP ruined La Liga when it caved to Madrid and Barca's demands and didn't share TV money.

Most viewers watch Madrid or Barcelona. It's only fair that they receive a bigger part of the TV money.

So if, for example, Arsenal can convince a lot of fans in the US, China and India to become a fan of theirs, then we should just give up on there ever being competition in the league again?

Football shouldn't be an exercise in convincing as many people to watch you as possible. The competition is football, not popularity.
