No, they are no longer a team. That would mean I should accept all old names of teams. For instance, I would not include Bobcats for Hornets anymore either.

Please consider adding MLS (Major League Soccer), which has nearly 30 teams with an average attendance of roughly 21,000.

By that logic, the Canadian Football League and La Liga MX (Mexico's top flight soccer league) should be included too. According to Wikipedia, the CFL has a slightly higher average attendance than Major League Soccer and is neck-and-neck with La Liga MX.

I wasn't shocked to learn that the MLS has higher attendance than the NHL, but was definitely surprised that it outpaced the NBA. That makes it #3 in the US for attendance.

Attendance is only one measurement though. There are other important metrics like television viewership that offer a more complete/macro picture of the professional sports biome. I'm not ready to go down that rabbit hole, but I'd venture to guess that substantially reorders things.

Just look at the money. If you compare the sports by revenue, MLS is not even close to the big four. Soccer fans insist on pushing this fiction that MLS is eclipsing the NHL or even the NBA. I have nothing against soccer, but its proponents have been insisting for 25 years that it's about to become a major presence in the US and it's just not happening. It is not in league with the four major sports.

I agree, CFL and Liga MX could be included. That WOULD be a fun quiz. But you COULD include MLS and just rename the quiz slightly to USA based leagues?

Why?

Martay, if attendance IS included, MLS is higher than both NBA and NHL, so...

And even if we include the viewership metric, it has also passed NHL even in THAT regard.

I could get the CFL teams fairly easily since I'm Canadian, but I'd have no hope at all of getting a single Mexican league answer, and I suspect many are in the same boat.

Except that MLS only has 34 games in a season, so it makes sense for it to have high attendance since fans only need to make it to 17 games in their home market (compared to the… 80?… mlb home games in a season!). The only way to realistically look at popularity, then, is revenue. That takes into account all types of viewership and how much people will pay for tickets, which shows how much people actually want to watch it.

To me, the major reason for not considering the MLS on par with the big4 leagues is simply the the relative level worldwide. NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB are (as far as I know) the inarguably strongest leagues in their respective sport. MLS is significantly behind Bundesliga, Premier League, Serie A etc in quality of play and reputation. Of course, it's rather disadvantaged in the regard as football is a global sport, while ice hockey is limited in popularity to relatively cold countries and american football has "american" in the name for a reason.

The CFL idea is a nice one - not least as I kept typing their names in, along with MLS ones, particularly where the only team is a basketball team (which, I am assuming, is not particularly interesting to those outside of North America).

MLS is getting (slightly) bigger in the UK but only because it gets games put on sky and we can look to see what happened to some of our former favourites that went to play in the retirement league.

I like CFL, but we don't get that on TV. However, I have to agree with Mike Florio that there is no point in watching basketball games other than the last 5 minutes - and I think that he was being generous.
