<p>My answer is, for a many part, no.  Professional sports leagues have been already VERY watered down, as great as enlargement would supplement some-more additionally rans to a engorgement of common teams.  There have been usually so many great athletes to go around, nonetheless there have been important exceptions in a integrate of sports which bear a little discussion.  However, these have been integrate of as great as distant between.  Let&#8217;s take a look&#8230;</p>
<p>
<p>NHL.  Forget about it!  Hockey has already invaded a sunbelt, nonetheless surprisingly a little of a southern teams have finished unequivocally well, quite Carolina.  Overall, though, there is a miss of seductiveness in a competition right now, as great as unless Crosby (Penguins) or a single of a alternative taking flight immature stars spin out to be a subsequent Gretzky, a destiny is not great for a sport.  Should a brand new run of great immature bent have a splash&#8230;talk to me in 10 years.</p>
<p>
<p>MLS.  Nobody cares.  Next!</p>
<p>
<p>MLB.  It&#8217;s already a Yanks as great as Sox opposite a rest of a world.  we consider it would be a bad thought to supplement brand new teams as great as have a Devil Rays, Pirates, Rangers, et al. even worse than they already are.  There have been towns <span id="more-7"></span> which have been upon a verge of being means to await a ball franchise, as great as a U.S. race is removing larger, nonetheless a goods of a steroid epoch haven&#8217;t entirely strike home yet.  I&#8217;ll put a MLB in a land pattern-NO for now.</p>
<p>
<p>NBA.  No.  Do we recollect a &#8220;showtime&#8221; Lakers, a late&#8217;60&#8242;s as great as early &#8217;70&#8242;s Lakers, Larry Bird as great as a squad in Boston, a &#8217;70&#8242;s Knicks, etc?  There was a time when a championship group had 5 great players as great as a integrate great ones entrance off a bench.  People have been already articulate about subsequent year&#8217;s Celtics creation a run.  Why?  Like all alternative pro sports, a NBA is skinny upon talent.  Two stars as great as a handful of purpose players will have a group a contender.  The Miami Heat is a box in point.  However, we will have a single of my dual exceptions for a NBA.  we do consider a pro basketball group would flower in Las Vegas.  The star energy would have for a helluva celebration upon a frame 41 times a year.</p>
<p>
<p>NFL.  Maybe.  The NFL is a many renouned of a vital pro sports, as great as if any joining could have enlargement work, it is a National Football League.  we do not consider they should go overboard, BUT a authorization in LA is prolonged overdue.  Forget about Jim Rome observant which a SoCals do not care!  This is a nations second largest market.  Get them a group already!</p>
<p>
<p>I will have an additional point.  Narurally, we have no complaint with a Canadian hockey teams, or a Raptors or Blue Jays for which matter.  However, enlargement outward of North America is a bad idea.  Forget about a costs.  These have been OUR leagues, and, for a many part, the games.  we would similar to to keep it which way.  Vegas hoops-yes.  LA football-yes.  Everything else-no.</p>
