Which Pro Sports league is the most competitively balanced?
NFL
MLB NBA MLS NHL IMO, No to MLB....too many haves and have nots. NO to NBA, same problem.....Does anyone really think the Bucks or Timberwolves have a shot at the title over a team like the Lakers? Admittedly, i dont know much about the MLS and NHL competitive balance. Your opinion? Discuss..... |

Then the 44 got sideways into the 23, and the 56 slid and got loose, next thing I knew i was into the wall. I would like to thank my sponsors though.

Unfortunately competitive balance is just a term for mediocrity. Look at the AFC right now...whole lotta bad football.
Lots of those games are becoming unwatchable. NBA is rising due to star power. MLB is what it always has been. Football, on the other hand, is waning just a bit due to the lack of a really good team to love/hate. The NFL was a better product with 9'ers or Steelers or Cowboys or Pats being really good. |

Your kidding right? Theres only about 4 teams with a realistic shot at winning the title.

Realistically though, in any sport there is only a handfull of teams that are expected to make it to the end. Football is on a decline right now because of the damn new deal they struck. There is a whole lot of bad football because teams cant really practice right now. So everything is a ****ing crapshoot. Alot of teams just arent prepared. |

Colorado Cricket League.
You NEVER hear ANYBODY complaining about that league not being competitively balanced. They know how to run a competitively balanced pro sports league. |

MLS and NHL seem to be the most competitively balanced. I just barely glance at the standings of the NHL every now and then. It seems like every year a team that sucked is now good. Sure, there are the teams like Detroit, Washington, etc that seem to be good every year, but there will be successful franchises in ALL sports.

NHL with NFL being close behind.
NBA is too star driven. Hard for some teams to compete with no salary cap in MLB. Don't know a thing about the MLS. |
