The Super League concept in Europe is collapsing but it brings up a good point. What if the best teams in the major US leagues broke off and played each other in most games?

2. I think we should just go ahead and move on to Rollerball

It’s going to be really hard to incorporate spiked gloves and motorbikes into any other current sports.

3. I would think you would want to go mostly with the biggest TV markets

with geography as a second criteria and at least one Canadian city - probably Toronto or Vancouver.

so -

NYC (more than one?)
Boston
Atlanta
Chicago
St.Louis
Phoenix
LA (more than one?)
Toronto

I would think those cities would be the core

4. It's a combination of revenue and history.

So in the NHL, it's tough to pass up a team like Nashville. And you can't have an MLB list without St. Louis.

5. You forgot the White Sox

I refuse to play anymore!

6. NBA - leave out the Warriors?

how?

7. The problem is who gets removed if they are included.

The Warriors have a decent history and recent success but not the biggest fan base. You can argue that they can replace Portland but the NW is rabid about sports.

The same problem potentially exists in hockey with Tampa Bay, though Golden State has a richer history.
