I`ll be interested to know what peoples opinion of franchises.

I mean do you think that 32 professional teams to cover the whole of a country the size of the U.S. is a little small?
I mean England has 92 professional clubs just in the football league with a handful of amateur clubs turning pro outside the league with ambitions to get into the league & play at the highest level , there are about 15 clubs just in London alone

Do you think there should be more openness like there is in British football with promotion & relegation? giving smaller teams a chance to grow & be up there with the big boys? Would you like to see more cities represented?

What happens when a team loses it`s franchise? do they still play at a competative level? Do the fans of the old team follow the new team even though they could be playing their matches hundreds of miles away?
