If the Grey Cup isn't a major championship because it's a second tier gridiron footbal league, then the MLS certainly isn't. It's not even one of the top 10 soccer leagues in the world yet.

What defines "major league"? My understanding is that the CFL is mainly made up of players who wouldn't cut it in the NFL. Personally, I'd say a major leauge is the highest level, with the best players, in its sport.

Might have responded to wrong comment. I know Canadians prefer it, almost to NFL being an after thought. My comment was on the players in the league. CFL is people cut or retired out of NFL looking for a second chance at a playing career.

Comparing it to minor league AAA baseball to MLB or AHL to NHL is as close as I can compare, but even that's likely selling the CFL a bit short.

If we're talking the premier division in US/Canada, the NFL clearly has a higher quality for talent and product. And that's the argument I'm getting from the OP.

as much as I like Silicon Valley, I have no idea what your point is

Don't worry, we all eventually pay our dues. Mine will be in the form of a 30 year mortgage :/

On the same logic, North American football (soccer) leagues should be excluded.

Second.

It is major league football. What makes the CFL not worthy of inclusion and the NFL worthy aside from American centric ness?

Probably best to just label the colours MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS.

Yup, it's what Google map shows

Data scientist is a broad title. Unfortunately companies seem to list AI, data engineer, and data analysts all under that umbrella.

That was my guess

That argument goes away when you realize he hit 30 HR at home, and 32 HR on the road this year.

in canada? no. majority of people either only watch cfl or only watch cfl and nfl. very few people wholeheartedly prefer the nfl over the cfl, you could say eastern canada but even then its fairly split. western canada is basically all in on the cfl. the nfl is an american league watched by americans.

Impressive indeed. For the record, Uncle Sam is pretty lenient with his taxes. For a first world country to get more than 50% of your salary in net income seems luxurious to many Europeans.

Then again, we don't generally need to save as much for medical bills, if I understand correctly.

If OP is counting MLS, and "... treat it the same way as winning the Superbowl or NBA finals..." then yes, I would. I'd count something with higher ratings, a larger fan base, a longer lineage, and generates more money than MLS.

Haha, what gave it away?
