Major American Sports League With European And Global Conferences.

Major American Sports League With European And Global Conferences.

How About Global And Particularly European Conferences In The Major North American Sports Leagues? As the next step in expansion of American sports leagues.

I mean, the NBA, MLS, MLB, NHL, NFL, NWSL, CFL, NCAA, WNBA and others;

My idea would focus on Europe having their own conference. The European nations would combine to have their own conferences, that could be called Eastern Atlantic Conferences. The teams in these conferences could play fellow European sides, and a few North American, or eastern USA club franchises in their regular season. Feeding into the leading team in the European conferences joining the Major league playoffs.

Europe is a massive market for American sports.

But a problem for NFL, or NBA, or MLB would be expanding the NFL into a European city, as that team would have to travel many times a season over the Atlantic Ocean. The solution is to have lots of European sides, playing in their own continental conference, who qualify from the regular season for the playoffs.

So for instance the NFL, NBA, or MLB could set up teams in European cities like Lisbon, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin, Cardiff, Manchester, Liverpool, London, Berlin, Munich, Warsaw, Madrid, Rome, Vienna, Prague, Paris, Barcelona, Bilbao, Athens, Istanbul, Dortmund, Amsterdam, Belfast, Newcastle, Zurich, Zaragoza, Bratislava, Stuttgart, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Nantes, Lille, Birmingham, Sevilla, Valencia, Milan, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Bucharest, Stockholm, Wroclaw, Oslo, Frankfurt. 

This could allow American sports leagues to grow, generate more revenue and build a bigger global reach.

There could also be conferences in South America, Central America, Eastern Asia, Western Asia, Central Asia, Oceania, Northern Africa, Southern Africa, with the same logic. Where their teams qualify for the American league playoffs. And where the playoffs and finals could still be held in the USA and Canada.

There could be a playoff preliminary round for some of the continents to qualify for the American playoff season.
