Reply to comment by braindeadzombie in [OC] North American cities by number of major sports championships (Updated December 2022) by twintig5

Second.

It is major league football. What makes the CFL not worthy of inclusion and the NFL worthy aside from American centric ness?

Probably best to just label the colours MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS.

What defines "major league"? My understanding is that the CFL is mainly made up of players who wouldn't cut it in the NFL. Personally, I'd say a major leauge is the highest level, with the best players, in its sport.

And yet OP included MLS.

I can almost guarantee OP meant US, but had to include Canada because several Canadian cities play in some of the US leagues. OP then made the unfortunate mistake of conflating US+Canada with North America.

In which case, the “major” sports leagues are clearly NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB, and MLS.

Liga MX, if CONCACAF Champions League results are any indication.
