First, professional players make WAY too much money. I believe the highest paid player should get no more than the President which is $400,000 per year.



Secondly, the players usually have no affinity for their city - they go where the money is highest. I propose a player would have to be a tax paying resident of a city or state for a period of 2 years before being able to play on their sports team.



Thirdly, the teams would have to be in proportional ratio in ethnic makeup as the city or geographical area for that team. Some cities may find themselves at an advantage or disadvantage depending on which sport we are discussing - but since these teams are sports, good sportsmanship is the name of the game.



Thank you for reading and I will gladly accept the position of commissioner of any professional sports league - as long as I can name my own salary.


Are you serious? I seriously doubt it. But if so...fagettaboutit.
