In the Olympics in Nazi Germany, Black Athlete Jesse Owens competed in the 1936 Olympics. He competed in the Men's track and field. Winning 4 gold medals for America. Hitler watched the event, but never shook his hand. However (I believe) he didn't shake hands with any of the other athletes at...

As we all know, football is not so popular worldwide, but how can you make it popular?

As we know, current American international and Bayern Munich striker ODJ is a huge star (scored 20 goals and 10 assists last year and him and Pulisic saved the USA from embarrassment during qualifiers). What isn't known, that before he got that offer to go to Germany and join an academy there...

Hello friends. Now I want to talk about a topic that interests me. As some of you know, I'm doing an AH and I've been curious about what sports would look like in my AH. But I want opinions to also keep myself at bay with the ASB. First, to make things easier, I will use acronyms and etc...

Will just get things rolling (will also give WCW some changes, slightly ASB but Hogan's politics would kill the company otherwise, I have more faith in McMahon as an authority than Bischoff to keep them under control) for 96 and 97 (feel free to revisit it in subsequent posts though if anyone...

We all know how Dale Earnhardt's death was one of the biggest tragedies in the history of American motorsports, well what if the younger Earnhardt died in the 2001 Daytona 500 in his place. The POD is Lap 197: Dale Jr., currently running 2nd, makes a move to the outside in an attempt to gain...

So I recently uncovered an old thread that was posted on here almost three years ago, and was last updated two years ago. Being quite a big wrestling fan myself, and a fan of these list threads, and collaborative threads I thought it'd be a unique idea to do this. So the idea is we post the name...

Rules for the challenge: Post-1899 (1900s+) As the title says, have Tennis become the number 3 sport in the world, if possible - ho higher! --- Maybe keep it as part of the Summer Olympics programming from 1924-1984, rather than remove it? More people could watch it that way, and maybe it could...

Scottie Pippen has long been known (mostly deservedly, as great a player as he was) as the Robin to Michael Jordan's Batman. However, when Jordan retired after the Bulls' first threepeat, Pippen took over and had an MVP-caliber season, leading the team to a 50-win season and losing on a...

Michael Jordan, greatest player in the world right now feels sick. His father is dead and he is contemplating retirement. But no, he will stay on. 1993-94 NBA Season Michael Jordan is tired. In several press conferences, his eyes seems weary and body strained, but with a full off-season he is...

Sort of like how we do alternate flags, how about alternate sports teams names & logos? For example, in my Balance of Power timeline with the CSA, Texas and Alta California, what becomes of the NHL's Los Angeles Kings and Dallas Stars, or baseball's Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves? I'm...

From the late 60s to the early 80s, the North American Soccer league was an attempt to bring top-flight soccer into the American sports mainstream. While there were a few success stories like the New York Cosmos (which had Pele on their roster in his last years of playing the game), a combo of...

The hockey great Mario Lemieux is indisputably a legend, who led Pittsburgh to greatness in 1991 and 1992. But in 1993, his awful health issues robbed him of the chance to play many games, including causing him to not play again after that season until 1995. He retired in 1997, and the...

Not sure if anyone tried a thread like this before, but the rules for this thread are simple. Create your own list of Olympic Games starting from whatever year you want to begin your list (even if you begin after 1900). You may include history-making highlights you hypothetically or for your own...

The history of the NBA has been defined by dynasties. The formula for creating a dynasty in the NBA is simple: draft a couple of MVP candidates, and then find solid role players that complement them. The Minneapolis Lakers first did this in the early 1950's, around George Mikan and Slater...

THE LAWSUIT 1986- US District Court Manhattan John Basset looked Donald J. Trump in the eyes. "You're an asshole. Plain and simple. You won't win over the judge or the jury. Even if they find them guilty, they will give us as little as possible. Let me do the talking, and we might have a...
