How the leagues compare for average franchise values:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FgeT0-lX...g&name=900x900 The NHL is just dragging and are closer to MLS than they are the other 3. MLS values still holding their own. |
$4.14 billion for an NFL franchise, plus another $1 billion at least for a stadium… I don’t see Toronto getting an NFL team any time soon.

Soccer probably has a significantly higher ceiling in the US than hockey does for a variety of reasons. It's not hard to imagine the NHL and MLS basically swapping places in the American pro sports hierarchy before long.

Forgot to mention it but CPL got 14,992 out for the final in Ottawa this past Sunday. Largest crowd for a final and most tickets sold for a match in CPL history. Onwards and upwards.

There is a move afoot to get a Toronto franchise into the NWSL and I think that the effort should be to get a National Canadian Womens Pro Soccer league off the ground instead. But it appears that some Canadians are more enamoured in being a branch of the US tree vice growing our own forest. |

I'm of the opinion that there is a lack of pride in Canada when it comes to our sports and culture (even the NHL is now a US based entity) and we'd have a much more vibrant country if we'd put more effort into our own entities vice being a lost entity within the US behemoth. I also realize that I'm a lonely voice. |
