I wrote about a "fan base," not a "fan," so your response is not to my point. I do not deny that there can be and are individual hockey fans in cities that I think shouldn't have teams, but as the three kids who play for Boston College here, and who are from California and Arizona, they come from places with no fan base.

Again, you don't respond to what I actually wrote. I never said "sports were meant to be played in the area they were conceived." Were that the case, Canada would have no curling, only Scotland, and yet Canada is where it has the greatest support. Hockey wasn't conceived in Boston; it should, nevertheless, be played here.
Also, the question of whether there should be any
professional sports is, I believe, a separate one. Let's not go there now.
Finally, as for caber tossing, this seems to me that it might be a good thing for which to use Bettman (see shadows' post just above).
