How many different teams have won the Champions League in that time?

MLB has the most parity, probably because the bigger teams go full retard on overspending to attract big-name talent that is washed up in a few years, throwing away prospects NHL's hard cap didn't enforce parity as much as it guaranteed that drafting is of almost 100% importance. NFL is all about ownership and organizational leadership. Don't need to describe what's wrong with the NBA.
Cameron Lee
MLB has the most parity of any American sports league by far you stupid idiot.

Nice cherrypicked and outdated graphic.
Nathaniel Walker
>Going off Championships is cherrypicked wew >Outdated It's not going to be much different now, especially with the Cubs and Royals ending long droughts, the Patriots winning two more Super Bowls in that time, and every single fucking NBA Finals being the Warriors vs. the Cavs.
Nathaniel Myers
he's not wrong though. Think about the last world series, they've all been different match ups and most of the time with different champions.
>The best teams this year are the Astros, Nationals, Rockies, and Diamondbacks >all different from recent series winners >no other sport has that kind of turn around from one year to the next
Bentley Richardson
Except the projected best team for the next few years is the cubs, and the team with the highest payroll is the dodgers, so I don't know where you get that from. The best teams so far this year are the Astros, Nationals, and Rockies, in terms of record.
Parker Evans
You're dead wrong about MLB. The Royals and Indians, two historically unlucky teams have made it to the World Series the past 3 years. Not to mention the Yankees haven't been good since 2009.
And don't act as if European divegrass has any parity.
Levi Stewart
Well I guess I'll give MLB another chance then
Eli Bennett
the red sox and yankees are going to be good for the next few years though to be fair, but being good guarantees little, MLB playoffs are a crapshoot
Bentley Davis
please watch our sport

Here are your last ten NFL Champs Pats Broncos Pats Seahawks Ravens Giants Packers Saints Steelers Giants

thats kind of a dumb infographic since baseball is like twice as old, but why doesnt the mlb one have the Pirates?
Aiden Adams
>this is kind of a dumb infographic because baseball is like twice as old >looks at championships from 1982-2012 What are you getting at here?

divegrass? unless you're a fucking castillan or a catalan, everyone is tired of the same few teams dominating the UCL. La liga rigging is too much
Kayden Hughes

this whole thread might as well be t. no ring shitters

Is there any city or state in the United States, where soccer is the most popular sport and where Major League Soccer (MLS) is the dominant professional sports league?
a place in USA where the MLS (major league soccer) and soccer surpass in popularity to NFL, MLB (major league baseball) NBA and NHL all combined
The State Or The City of Soccer In the United States
Camden Cook
no
Eli Murphy
>he actually defends the same teams winning over and over It's fucking boring
Chase Young
Patriots basically win everything Confirmed for has never watched football
Jacob Roberts
Both of New England's titles on that list were pretty fucking improbable too, it's not like they completely dominated their recent Owl wins and their opponent had no chance. If the Seahawks handed it to Lynch on the goal line New England probably loses (although that results in Seattle B2B Owls) and if the Falcons don't have the biggest choke in Owl history we have another new team on the list.
Anthony Parker
...
Isaac Sanchez
this
new england's last 2 owls were the other team spilling their spaghetti
although as he noted that would mean seattle would just be a repeat champ instead
Eli Wood
ah that answers my other question, didn't see the year specification at the top
Eli Diaz
>2007 was 10 years ago
Lucas Jackson
Should also consider MLS (Major League Soccer)
There are also many fans of North American soccer
David Price
The Pats are Kek's chosen team

Brady wins everything for sure, but not for more than 5 more years or so

Both 2015 world series contenders aren't expected to make post season right now.
Both 2016 world series contenders aren't even #1 in their division
Both 2015 contenders are doing horribly in their division.
The twins who had the worst record in baseball last year are on Pace to win their division.
The blue Jays who made the ALCS in 2015 and 2016. won't make post season either.
Baseball has the most parity out of any sport and there's no denying this. (Minus the national league. Because most NL teams are shit. But he'll even this year the Brew Crew and Rockies would be division winners if the season ended today)
Elijah James
Also only 2 teams in the MLB have made post season streaks longer than 5 years in a row.
Anthony Gray
>giants
Christopher Morris
Moving even further than this. 13 NFL teams have had post season streaks of 6+ consecutive seasons. The only 2 MLB teams to do this are the braves and Yankees.
Isaiah Cooper
Seriously, /spreddit/, fucking S E R I O U S L Y ??? Fucking muh parity is the sole measuring stick of one's success and attractiveness now? You're all morons.
Gavin Gray
Meanwhile in the NBA there's currently 4 teams with active postseason streaks of 6+ with the San Antonio Spurs having nearly 20 consecutive post seasons.
I'd compare these stats to hockey but because of hockey's massive first round in the playoffs being half the league, nearly every team in the league has playoff streaks of 15+ in their history.
Despite allowing half of your shitty sport league into your playoff baseball still managed to produce more different champions than the NHL and more parity whose in post season.
Matthew Flores
I think the game of baseball itself just
It's like how people say "the game of basketball is conducive to certain teams dominating" because of how it's 5v5, players play for 30-40 minutes a game so one great player can dominate everything
in baseball not only do you have the 9v9 part of it so big teams, but add in how every pitcher vs batter matchup is like 9 separate 1v1 matchups all game long, another pitcher comes in and even more 1v1 matchups, and you're bound to have parity
Easton Richardson
But the lowest seeded team to make the NHL playoffs this year made it to the Finals (Nashville) and 8 seeds have won the Cup before
Ryder Rogers
wrong.
the san jose sharks (nhl) are far more popular than the earthquakes.
shit, I think the san jsoe state football team is more popular than the quakes lol

Parity means equal opportunity not equal distribution
Parker Taylor
>Mlb You just had arguably the two biggest "loveable losers" in American sports play maybe the best world series ever. One hadn't won in over 100 years, the other had a successful movie franchise made about it's ineptitude. Not sure how you could be more wrong here. >NBA Correct. That's just how the sport is and always will be >NFL Patriots are on a historically great run and even then they had a 9 season run where they didn't win and during that time 7 different teams won >NHL There's a ton of parity it's just that it happens the same teams keep coming through at the top. The kings had a fucking losing record and won in 2012 and Nashville was 41-41 and was the last team in the playoffs this year. Nhl in my opinion has parity to the point it's detrimental to them.
Daniel Myers
Fucking commies and your parity
Hunter Martin
literally corroborates Michael Mauboussin book, The Success Equation youtube.com/watch?v=HNlgISa9Giw more parity = more luck, less parity = more skill It's like I roll a 6-sided dice 100 times, each face will have about the same result But if I confront a chess grand master 100 times, I will lose 100 times, because he has more skill than me
Camden Kelly
>muh parity
why are Americans so fucking cancerous? the best teams win, period.
if you want parity go roll some dice you stupid fucking nigger lovers
Dylan Peterson
People think they like parity until they actually see and then stop watching. What super bowl do you think will draw more interest this year New England vs. Green Bay or Kansas City vs Tampa Bay?You think anyone would care about the NBA finals if it was Washington vs. Houston? Yankees vs. Giants or Twins vs. Brewers? Lol
Jeremiah Davis

It's not the sole one, but if you don't have any you're basically a non-sport.

I love how people act like GS and Cleveland have won every single Finals. Nigga, it's only been three years! It's not like the Celtics and Lakers who combine for half of the titles.
Kayden Sanders
Wildcard teams in baseball have won this decade, and I believe the last wildcard appearance in the WS was the 2015 royals.
Jonathan Roberts
>It's ONLY been three years of the same shit over and over again Both teams in the 2015 World Series were Wildcard team in fact
