Habsfan Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Une chance que ce power ranking est basé sur la fiche des équipes de la ville. Ils ont placé Montréal devant San Francisco! C'est sur, nous n'Avons qu'une seule équipe des ligues majeurs, au moins il en ont trois(Les 49ers, les Giants et la Warriors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjb Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Quan Detroit remporte un classement, en général il ne faut pas s'inquiéter d'être trop bas dans leur rankings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ornello Mastrocola Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Montreal Is Where It Should Be Considering It's An Event Laden City; However, Surprised At Toronto's Standing...thought It Would Be Much Higher In The Standings. All In All, When It Comes To Sports, The Americans Are Numero Uno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTLskyline Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Montreal Is Where It Should Be Considering It's An Event Laden City; However, Surprised At Toronto's Standing...thought It Would Be Much Higher In The Standings. All In All, When It Comes To Sports, The Americans Are Numero Uno. Toronto is not enough of a football hub despite hosting a few Bills games and having the Argos. Americans believe that Football is 5x more important than any other sport. In order of popularity to Americans: 1. NFL Football 2. NASCAR 3. NBA Basketball 4. College Football 5. MLB Baseball 6. College Basketball 7. PGA Golf 8. Indy Racing League 9. NHL Hockey 10. MLS Soccer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB Baseball 4. College Football 5. NBA Basketball 6. College Basketball 7. PGA Golf 8. IRL 9. Figure Skating . . 17. Professional Bull Riding . . 20. Professional Bowling 21. Poker . 24. NHL Hockey . . 28. MLS Soccer You might thikn that I'm joking with the Bowling and the bull Riding, but I'm very serious. Both thoses "sports" are more popular than Hockey. So is poker!
