Is it possible that US teams in (American ) football, basketball, baseball and perhaps other sports could be based on individual states?
yes and no.. the problem is that many of the larger states have more then 1 large urban center or have multiple teams.. also other large states have little population and is very dispersed making attendance at these events more difficult. the USA is a pretty large country..
lets take baseball as an example.
2 leagues.. states like new york, california, florida, Pennsylvania, Missouri have 2 or more teams.. California has 5 ... and most are accosiated with large cities.. same with all sports in america.. most dont brand to the state.
(not allot of state loyalty here i guess
