Why not the United States/Canadian Series?

Even though MLB only features teams from the US and Canada many of the players are from around the world.  The World Series is a representation of the players, not necessarily the countries.

Try placing this question in the Canada section instead of the sports section. You just might get better results.

Canada is not as hysteria filled as the U.S. They realize there is no reason to make the registries public. The U.S. originally was to have them available only to law enforcement as well. That has all changed and now we have vigilantes out killing people. I wonder if it will take a rehabilitated former sex offenders child or spouse being murdered to stop the insanity?

I don't know about that. but I sure hope so! 300 million in the U.S, 30 million in Canada... Oh boy. Give us some money! We're a big country.\n\nTo answer your question, anything can happen. :)

It's too small of a market, plus you have to look at teh travel time. Hawaii is a long flight from everywhere in the continental US. Teams would throw a fit having to travel that far for a game, especially teams from the far north or east coast.

I have been paying attention to this issue and it is just that soccer was here before baseball and those sports. and also most countries preffer soccer. another good thing to add is why doesn't the USA start using the metric system

No, I don't think Canada should become part of the US, because we are so unique and we have our own currency and health insurance. But maybe the US should accept Mexico as part of their country! For Gwenhwyvar, Canada does not have states, we have provinces,and we accept Quebec and their language as part of our country, unlike Americans not accepting Mexico and spanish as their second language!!

I'm english  & I don't recieve US TV broadcasts, but from what you've said I would imagine they're trying to make it easier for americans who aren't used to "soccerball" to understand. From what I gather, it is on the verge of taking off in the US and the networks who broadcast it want to appeal to the vast number of potential new supporters that the US has.\n\nGood luck to the US - as long as it isn't at the expense of England ;)

Both countries have nine number system but the canadian is presented this way XXX-XXX-XXX instead of the american way XXX-XX-XXXX.  Nine numbers gives one billion possibilities but I guess its possible to get duplicate numbers.  \n\nHowever I find it hard to believe that someone use a canadian number in the american system.  For example, Visa Canada and Visa USA is two completely different companies and they can't view the credit history from the other country.  \n\nSo I guess the explanation is possible but I'm still a bit skeptical about it...

I'll probably not watch it at all.  Most of the coverage I'm just not interested in.  Skiing?  Nah.  Cross country?  Nah.  Now, the speed-skating is interesting and could hold my attention for a bit, but other than that... hockey would be the only one, as I like to watch hockey, but I'd probably end up doing other things.\n\nThat isn't to say that I wouldn't read about the Olympic coverage and root for Team USA!

There is even a US International team - they played in the ICC  competition that was staged in the UK two summers ago. Look on the ICC site - they would be able to provide links to associate member sites, and I'm sure the US is one of these.

I think the problem is in the exposure it gets. Only MLS games are shown on broadcast television. Put some games on TV from other countries and I think that it would do better. Case in point, the Man U came to the US for a few games throughout the US and it was a sellout four months before the game began. The US would crave soccer if we could see high quality games instead of teh sometimes monotonous MLS.

Yeah, that would be cool.  You'd get some good teams that don't always team together.  The Crockett Cup was good....Sting & Luger, The Koloffs, Midnight Express, Rock n' Roll Express, the Varsity Club.  Yeah, bring it back!

While fan interest is often cited as the main reason, there are larger factors:\n\n1) The biggest issue was the inability to fund a new stadium Canadian law now prohibits subsidizing of professional sports facilities,\n\n2) The inability to gain revenues through a local broadcast deal for both radio and television. No revenue stream is more critical in MLB.\n\n3) International exchange rate. MLB players are paid in USD. If your revenues are coming in as Canadian dollars, you still have to pay your players in US dollars. This created issues for both the Expos and Blue Jays when the Canadian dollar was depressed in the late '90s.\n\n4) And yes, fan apathy.\n\nYou can follow up on this issue, if you like, with me on Baseball Prospectus Weds. the 21st at 2pm EST as I'll be conducting a chat on the business of baseball then.\n\n--Maury

BWAHAHAHA - Jay you are a tard that has obviously NOT ever played hockey!!! Fluke goals??? Its called...skill...something that may lack in your favorite sport.\nAnd yes...to answer your Question, hockey in the states has major competitors such as the NFL, MLB and NBA. \nIf you were to go to Canada, you would find that every game of every team is sold out. \nIf you ask any NHL player (Canadian or not) they will tell you that Canada is the best and worst place to play. \nBest b/c because it is the best supported by tenacious fans there, but the worst b/c they are so captivated by it that they scrutinize every mistake a player makes.\nThe only two reason that there are so many teams in the NHL that are based in the USA is b/c they try to market it to a stronger dollar and a more populous audience.\n\nCan I get an amen?

I don't understand why Muchmusic had to be so snobbish about that.  Certainly Canadian programming is now considered a precious export.  Believe it or not, Canadians are governed by the CRTC, and they control all television content available to Canadians.  They do not receive MTV, so in turn Muchmusic was created.  Canadians were never allowed to watch or participate in MTV, so perhaps Muchmusic and their viewers have a chip on their shoulders towards the Yanks.  \n\n♦the .ca extension was favorable in the past, but is slowly dying out as globalization continues to shift more Canadian companies to the .com standard.
