Proposed Cities For Expansion Teams

     In every move there are two sides to the politics. There are the teams themselves and there are the cities that fight to keep them. In May 1991, Sharon Pratt Dixon, Mayor of Washington, D.C. said, “We’re going to do whatever it takes to keep the Redskins here. Sports has become an industry, and to the extent that we can guarantee jobs for the District residents, we will do whatever it takes, including building the stadium ourselves” (Euchner 1), this is one view of how a city official fights for a team. The other viewpoint is from the side of the team owner, Al Davis, managing general partner of the Raiders said, “just build it” (Euchner 1). These viewpoints are why sports teams move and cities fight to keep

Kate Chopin was born Katherine O’Flaherty on February 8, 1851, in St. Louis, Missouri, into a socially prominent family with roots in the French past of both St. Louis and New Orleans. Her father, Thomas O’Flaherty, an immigrant from Ireland, had lived in New York and Illinois before settling in St. Louis, where he prospered as the owner of a commission house. In 1839, he married into a well-known Creole family, members of the city’s social elite, but his wife died in childbirth only a year later. In 1844, he married Eliza Faris, merely fifteen years old but, according to French custom, eligible for marriage. Faris was the daughter of a Huguenot man who had migrated from Virginia and a woman who was descended from the Charlevilles, among the earliest French settlers in America.

So, in the long run the Raiders would be making more money by not moving to Vegas. Staying in Oakland will be the best thing to do for the fans as well.

According to Lyle Richardson, a columnist for the bleacher report, the rosters for the 12 teams have been announced and a considerable number of NHL players made the cut. Indeed, some of these teams are entirely made up of NHL stars. Every NHL team has players headed to Sochi, with some teams seeing a significant number of stars competing in the tournament. Russia has predicted to beat Sweden for the gold in the championship game but the Sweden’s are not going away easily. Every

The NHL saw the increasing population in the Southern states and wanted to take advantage. In Florida, from 1970 to 2010, it is estimated the population will more than triple from six million to 19 million. The NHL saw this huge increase in population and in the late 90’s put two new teams into both California and Florida. The NHL is a business, and when there are huge amounts of people, no matter where it is, they see an opportunity to make money and want to put teams there. The city of Atlanta actually had an NHL team from 1972 to 1980, when the team was moved to Calgary. In 1980 when the team left, there were just over 2 million people in the metropolitan area of Atlanta. In 2004, the city had more than doubled to 5 million, just a few years after another team was given to Atlanta. The NHL tries to put an NHL franchise anywhere where they feel there is a possibility of making money. But what affect are all of these new Southern teams having on the NHL and its fans?

The Chicago Blackhawks, Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Chiefs, and Atlanta Braves are all professional sport teams in America that use Native American culture to represent them through the means of tribe names, logos, and mascots. These teams have received a lot of media attention around the debate on if the representation of Native Americans is offensive or not. Controversy surrounding Native American mascots first came into the public eye during the 1960s Native American Civil Rights movement, where the use of these mascots was criticized for being insulting. However, the people who conceived these teams did not acknowledge the prejudice and discrimination they were creating and grew the brands into multi-million

The Minnesota Vikings are a storied franchise that was an NFL expansion team in 1960 and they played their first season in 1961. The vikings are currently in the NFC North Division, and before that they were in the NFC Central Division. They first time they made the playoffs was in 1968, and they have made the playoffs 27 times since making the playoffs last in 2015. The Vikings currently hold 19 division titles, and 4 conference championships. They have one NFL championship that pre dates the AFL-NFL merger. They won the championship in 1969. They have had 4 separate stadiums with U.S. Bank Stadium being the newest. U.S. Bank was build upon the former site of Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, and it was just completed on June 17th, 2016. The cost

positive or negative impacts on a city. The team that will be focused on is the Montreal

The Gateway to the west, isn’t always the best. The St. Louis Rams couldn’t have an NFL team due to the lack of people in the city, money issues, and stadium debt. Los Angeles is a city of countless opportunities for the Rams to thrive and build their franchise. Los Angeles, a city of over 4 million, has finally achieved world class status but, on the other hand, relocating and building a new stadium costs millions of dollars and Stan Kroenke, the owner of the NFL Rams franchise, has a very hard decision to make whether or not he wants to move due to the fact he could lose millions of dollars if they are unsuccessful . Although many may say that the Rams were right to leave due to the lack of attendance, the financial burden the team places

So it is the same process as i explained as the paragraph above with the titans. The difference we came up with was the numbers. So the numbers if we compared with New York teams is we would get 500,000,000 million. This number comes from 2.1 billion from New York Giants, 1.2 Billion from the New York Rangers, and then 500 million from the Las Vegas Golden Knights. So if we do the process as above that is where the 500 million comes from. So if we did go with New York as our profit we would get a lot more than what we would get if went with the Tennessee

October 14th, 2016 was an exciting day for baseball fans in Toronto, Ontario. The Toronto Blue Jays and the city prepared to face off against Cleveland in the American League Championship Series. Catch anything out of sorts about that last sentence (specifically relating to the teams)? Read it one more time. The full name of the team the Cleveland Indians was purposefully left out. Selective vocabulary like this is also used by the Blue Jay’s play-by-play announcer Jerry Howarth. Howarth’s protest efforts towards racial terms in broadcasting will be the focus of this paper, along with an article written about him.

All of the rosters of the twelve teams have at least one NHL player on its roster. However, the NHL is thinking about not letting its players play in the Olympics because it cuts into the season, and there is a risk of getting there star players injured.

Just from being there Toronto will get a better name and will have a bigger name. They will also bring money to the country by buying tickets merchandise and other things that the Pan am games can provide. I hope to buy tickets and be another person to see these games. It is a once and a lifetime opportunity because this has never

As a result of the effect that it has on the Canadian economy, hockey should be named Canada’s true national sport. Accounting for roughly one-third of the National Hockey Leagues ticket sale revenue, the seven Canadian hockey teams have a much larger market than the 23 American teams. Not including the newly added Winnipeg Jets, the six Canadian teams account for 31% of the $1.2 billion (U.S) sales ticket revenue of the NHL. This means that $341,000,000.00 (U.S) is contributing to the Canadian economy annually. The Toronto Maple Leafs has the largest franchise revenue at an estimated $119,000,000.00. The ticket revenue of the Toronto Maple Leafs is the highest in the NHL at $1.5 million per game. This is an astonishing amount in comparison to the Dallas Stars at $660,000. The construction of sport facilities could cost upwards to over $1 billion (U.S). With this in mind, Canadian hockey facilities (e.g.: the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario) revenue millions of dollars annually and creates thousands of jobs. Costing $265 million to build, the Air Canada Centre generates revenue of nearly $23 million annually. Additionally, large Canadian sponsors such as Air Canada, Molson Canadian, and Tim Hortons

Ice hockey has in the last hundred years evolved to become international. Canada is in jeopardy of losing its six teams. Tradition run deep in all of the cities and also professional hockey teams create thousands of jobs and help out in the communities. Teams in the Canadian market are having trouble keeping their programs in the black because of higher taxes and a weaker Canadian dollar. In order for professional hockey teams in Canada not to relocate to United States, it is necessary for Ottawa to provide tax cuts for them.
