So, I'm watching the NHL playoffs, and I realize I don't know what to look for. I don't understand the strategy behind why the guys are doing what...
You are completely correct. MLB is in a very good position. They had $6 Billion in revenues last year. Billion. Up from $3 Billion in 2000. The...
I think you misunderstood my point. I wasn't arguing that population guarantees anything. My point was that if MLS limits itself to only 20 teams,...
