It still won't be that big of a deal, but I'd at least like to know before starting a historical league so that I can do my research in advance and rename teams according to history. Last edited by ghostrobot; 05-21-2014 at 01:03 AM. Reason: clarification |

And that, arguably, are the only statistics that really matter in regards to measuring a sport's popularity. |

Now as for kids if you follow the NBA you can see the Canadian content coming in to the league basketball was big here from 1995-2002 which is some reason why we see this, When things are going good kids want to play sport they see there friends play or parents watch, I know when the leafs were good we watched them all the time, my grade 6 class even convinced my teachers to watch a playoff game at a overnight camp. I as a kid followed baseball but Hockey was my love and i lived and died hockey but when the lock out happened and I found this Game Baseball became life so Its all about access.

Arguably it is the most important measure of health. If the league if financially profitable, if individual member clubs are financially profitable, then that—seeing as they are money-making ventures after all—is the only thing that really counts.
There's a lot of romanticization that goes on with professional sports. The key word in the phrase "professional sports" is "professional". It's a business first and foremost. Quote:

And suddenly MLB become a bad guy. C'mon, boys and girls, without MLB you wouldn't be interested in OOTP.
(And if sometime later I make "Out Of The Park Chess", I think Markus won't be satisfied with this) |
