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...

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...

There was an old thread on sports careers that might have been. I'll start off with some: Dale Murphy: Catcher, first baseman, outfielder, and designated hitter for the Atlanta Braves (1978-1979) and Milwaukee Brewers (1980-1997). Was part of eight World Series championship teams, and three...

I've been writing up an alt history of the United Kingdom national football team, and I thought it would be fun to simulate the matches in FIFA 14. So here they are! :) AltHistory Page: http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup_(UKatWC) YouTube Channel...

When Group B was cancelled in the mid 1980s due to FIA's growing concerns over the safety record of these rally cars, the eventual replacement/stopgap solution proposed was the introduction of Group S. However, in OTL, while there was some development going into Group S (e.g. 4 car prototypes...
