If you can give me an example of how Toronto having a team in the MLB has a negative impact on the sport in any way whatsoever, I'll give you a dollar.

Patriotism! I'm a patriotic god-fearing american!

 

I'm a country man from Knoxville

And i'm chewing straw today

I got a quaint lil' life, and a Mexican wife

With a youngen on the way

I got a baseball team and a cowboy hat

And i wave my flag all day

Then i sit on my porch, with a gun and a torch

And i blow those raccoons away

 

Ohhhh,

I'm a church going republican from Knoxville

And you're all going to !@#$%^&*

I voted for Bush, cos my brain turned to mush

From the trailor park meth-lab smell

I hate those Islams, cos they cut off your hands

And they're all in a terrorist cell

But those twin towers make it right

To kill em all with Israel!

 

Yeeehaw, sing along now!

 

(Chords: G, Em, C, D) A little song i wrote on my travels in Tennessee...

Probably sounds better on the banjo, haha.

If no canadian team can be in the MLB, then no american hockey team should be in the NHL

[Greased_Lightning]

If you didn't want a non-US team in there, then it should be called the USMLB. Seriously, who cares about this enough to make a forum topic?

[Incomplete]

Must be scared of more compe!@#$%^&*on?

After a series of disputes in the Canadian National Hockey !@#$%^&*ociation (NHA) between Eddie Livingstone, owner of the Toronto Blueshirts and the owners of other teams, the owners of the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators, and Quebec Bulldogs met at the Windsor Hotel in Montreal to talk about the NHA's future.[2] Their discussions eventually led to the creation of the National Hockey League in 1917; the founding teams were the Canadiens, Wanderers, Senators, and the newly-created Toronto Arenas (later known as the St. Patricks and now the Maple Leafs).[2]

 

Even though the league struggled to stay in business during its first decade, the NHL's teams were very successful on the ice; only once, in 1925, did a team from any other league win the Stanley Cup, and by 1926 the NHL was the only league competing for the Cup.[3] The NHL then started a process of expansion: the Boston Bruins (the first U.S.-based NHL franchise) and Montreal Maroons entered the league in 1924–25; the New York Americans and the Pittsburgh Pirates entered in the 1925–26 season; and the New York Rangers, Chicago Black Hawks (now spelled Blackhawks), and Detroit Cougars (now known as the Red Wings) entered in the 1926–27 season, raising the number of teams in the NHL to 10. The Great Depression and the onset of World War II, took a toll on the league, and by 1942 the NHL was reduced to six teams. These six teams (the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Black Hawks, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers) are collectively known as the Original Six, and for the next quarter-century were the only teams in the National Hockey League.

If things are a national league then fair enough, but in many american sports where they call things "world series" it usually implies anyone can show up and play.

All right Dav I gota admit you do got some pretty basic logic going for you and i do agree with the world series. I am on the border of changing my opinion.

The only thing amusing is that the Blue Jays are in the American League

 

Montreal had a team in the National League but they sucked and nobody went to their games to they moved to Washington after spending some time in Puerto Rico

[rootbear75]

Washington Nationals FTW!

[★ D1st0rt]

[ESCANDAL0SA]

to be honest...Blue Jays suck. i love toronto and everything...but baseball is def. not our game lol. who cares what leauge they're in. i can see why toronto is in the american leauge though. it's a big city that can pull in a lot of money through games and stuff.

K we (canada) made hockey and basketball, NHL and NBA should be ours (dont flame this lol) Edited July 29, 2007 by Smarties

[AstroProdigy]

Canada made basketball? WTF?

[🜲 Samapico]

[★ candygirl]

Torontos hockey team is always sold out (home games) It does not mater how good they are doing lol

[Greased_Lightning]

You can take the NBA no questions asked, and I'll throw in Soccer absolutely free! However, one stipulation is that you still allow northern US teams to participate in Hockey. Only states that could actually play their games outside. None of this bull!@#$%^&* Florida hockey teams.

 

And if you act in the next 10 minutes, we'll double your order to include the WNBA and Women's Soccer! As a special 5-minute bonus, we'll include our 'Ladies Volleyball' calendar! Just pay shipping and handling!

 

Call now!

The word American is not limited to merely defining United States citizens. Toronto is in the AMERICAN LEAGUE. Canada is part of AMERICA. There is no problem here.
