Go to any country not England, Germany and Spain, and they'll consider they're soccer league a major league. It's based on each individual nation, not the world. The level of each league within their sport is determined by world popularity. The NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL, on a global scale, have no other major leagues (within different nations) that are on par with them. Doesn't make the NPB any less of a major league. But in Japan, not the U.S.
-
I consider NASCAR, PGA/LIV, ...TENNIS, major sports, but are tours, not leagues. Since they're individual competitors (even if technically on teams in some) and go from city to city in a once-a-year special event at that location, rather than having a home market like in team sports.
-
Just because you keep listing college sports in here, doesn't make it so.
-
Any of those player will make the jump to MLB, NBA and NHL if given the opportunity. There's really no question in the big 4 (of 5) who the top leagues in the world are.
-
It's the major league in soccer in the U.S. And arguably the greatest player of all-time IS playing here, so...
-
Are those minor leaguers? Do they have to earn the larger names by making the major league roster?
-
College players are paid for endorsements by companies, not paid to play from the universities, so no, it's not a major league. A "major league" is one considered on the highest level of its respective sport. Technically the CFL is because it's the highest level of Canadian football, even still if it is far from the level of the NFL. They're also technically two different sports. What WE consider the 5 major leagues are largely due to them being the 5 most popular sports in the country (4 of which are the pinnacle leagues of their sport in the entire world).

But the Twins identity originated in Minnesota, not elsewhere before they moved there. Plus, it's rather market-specific. Very few other markets could work with the "Twins" moniker, and nowhere else is it anywhere near as relevant as it is in the Twin Cities.

Given that it says the Legacy Whites are staying and that there will just be a new set of green and black, I'd assume, for the green and whites at least, the block numbers will remain.
-
That last part won't happen. They'll just play somewhere else until the new stadium is ready. And there's no way they're leaving behind the A's identity, an identity that started in Philadelphia and whose colors started in Kansas City.

I watched most of that one. It was pretty entertaining. A lot of long rallies, including match point, if I'm not mistaken. It's been almost 24 hours, so...
-
That "outline" better at least be gray on the aways and not white.

For comparison:
-
Missouri State, huh? Your name wouldn't be a reference to Reeds Spring, would it?
-
5 million fans across 81 games a year would require a stadium capacity of nearly 62k, nearly 6k more than Dodger Stadium, which is the largest baseball (specific) stadium in the world.

Yeah, I'm sure players are gonna leave the bigger markets of the NWSL to play in Spokane and Chattanooga.

What "life-altering decision" did the kid make? Painting his face? Not to mention, the kid is actually part Native American.
-
This is a new women's volleyball league, not an established men's major league. The league and sport demographics are completely different. What appeals to one, does not automatically appeal to the other.
-
You would think they'd be able to put a mandate on how much carbon fiber can be exposed/how much area must be covered with paint.
-
Why would you move the Coyotes finally out of Phoenix and then expand right back to Phoenix? Also, "Atlanta Locomotives"? "Phoenix Meteors"?
-
This guy?
-
Yeah, but that's ALL Oakland has going for it. At least the other cities have additional stuff to do in between car jackings and shoplifting flash mobs. Y'know, assuming you're out of the hospital or morgue in time to enjoy them.
