North American Sports

[Tecumsehsbones]

Every city in North America with over one million population should have five professional men's sports and five professional women's sports: NFL/CFL-style football, real football, basketball, and baseball.

24 cities, 9 in the U.S., 10 in Mexico, 5 in Canada.

Four divisions of six teams each.

The U.S. and Canada should have, between them, at least 24 pro hockey teams. Mexican cities should be in if they want.

Lacrosse should be promoted as a pro sport.

Yep, and should be more. I know the league exists, it just needs to get bigger. Like football, it allows people with normal phenotypes to excel.

It's a fast and rough sport.

There is a West coast league. BC WA and OR that back in the day games would end in brawls and even a riot or two. New Westminster Salmonbellies were exceptionally violent. Good times.

Eventually people will give up on pro sports due to the fact it just doesn't matter who wins the Superbowl. It's a distraction that has wormed it's way into the fabric of our society for the purpose of making money and giving people something to do. And the spending of the money they make is no example of rational existence either but apparently that's what people want. Very superficial priority imo.

Kinda like they gave up on drama. Cuz it was all fake stories about people who never existed.

Imbecile.

We need more real sports. F1, Drags, CART etc. And the local stock car tracks and MX tracks. Best family entertainment for a decent price.

Insurance is a factor in a lot of what car racing used to be like. We had a local track and guys would come a long way to race plus it drew a good crowd but they couldn't afford insurance. Fortunate for them it never came to be an issue over an accident that easily could happen.

As for real sports, the F1 sailboats move along and appear to be something new. It's a bit like watching cricket in that I don't really know the sport well enough to understand it. Reality is it might make a difference to .05% of the worlds population. It looks like a great life to live.

The problem we have is lack of corporate sponsorship. Because of this, the local supply of used parts soon dried up, and wives got tired of all the money going to car parts and entrance fees, which paid the insurance. Out side of the pro races, which are heavily financed by large companies, the majority of racers are blue collar workers trying to have a little fun.
