Definitely need more pro sports in this city. We have such a gorgeous city, but barely on the map in terms of professional sports franchises.
The CFL is really limited to within Canada, anyone outside of the country would barely know what the CFL is about, let alone someone from Asian or Europe. The NBA is recognized globally (well....just about) - Kobe, LeBron, Wade, etc.
Baseball I'd say is a recognizable sport in Asia, and in Europe too. Obviously not as strong as basketball. Soccer the most recognizable sport, and we're in the top tier league, at least in North America.
The NBA would be the next logical sports franchise to come to Vancouver. MLB would be nice, but ain't going to happen for a while. and the NFL may never come to Van in our lifetime.
