| @ClintT13: Despite the generally low ratings the NHL tends to get throughout the US, it's generally referred to as part of the "Big 4" due to its rank amongst the rest of the globe's sports leagues. While it is often listed internationally as the fifth most valuable league behind the 3 aforementioned leagues and the English Premier League, its major league status is retained since the high level of competition is maintained, and more simply, its popularity is still quite high in parts of the northern US and especially Canada. Moreover, the knowledge of the game extends throughout most of the US as I'm sure even the likes you of you could name the current better teams in the league, while providing a guy like me with the opportunity of voicing my opinions based on the opinions on others. The same can not be said, however, for the MLS. I recognize the popularity of the game is rising and I acknowledge the success of the league, but at this point in time I know nothing of it, except for the fact that my home town of Toronto recently obtained a team, although I'm not sure if they'd be mentioned on a quiz like this. With that being said, there is absolutely no reason that the NHL shouldn't be mentioned on this quiz, if not simply due to the fact that it is and will be regarded as part of the "Big 4" at least as North Americans are concerned. |
