Firefly Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Considering how many NBLs there are (http://en.wikipedia....sketball_League) it probably doesn't hurt to add it in occasionally.

cornettored Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 What exactly did the PBL officials do to lead all but one team out of the league? I somewhat sympathize with the Rainmen coming from the new ABA (who had twenty teams fold in one year, another year was supposed to have fifty teams but an entire division folded, and now apparently trying to field up to 94 teams this year.) Respect the hell out of the Halifax organization for not folding it in yet.EDIT: It's also worth knowing that the Rochester team (aka the only team in the PBL) are owned BY the PBL. So yeah, how can minor-league basketball be this messed up(with the exception of the D-League)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, how can minor-league basketball be this messed up(with the exception of the D-League)?Because most of these teams started in the $10,000 and a dream ABA. You get what you pay for, and with a vetting process of "did the check clear?," utter franchise chaos is the only option.

hockey week Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 You can't have a logo that represents Canada without a maple leaf. You can't have a logo that represents the US without the colours red, white, & blue or stars & stripes C'mon, if there's anything Canadians really excel at, it's branding. Most companies, including ones that started elsewhere and work in Canada, have incorporated maple leaves, including McDonalds. It's impressive, really. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.
