One thing that makes simulation sports league special is the ability to be absolutely absurd in a variety of ways. From spicy ludicrous inter-player drama to player characters that make no physical sense you truly have a large area to let your imagination run wild. That's why I propose an expansion team on the Middle Earth continent. If it were up to me I'd probably go with the Mordor Marauders or something simple like that. Originally I thought Orcs, but that's pretty racist honestly, might as well just name the team the Mordor Greenskins at that point. A team based on a different realm of existence could prove problematic for teams that have to learn how to transcend the earthly plane, but many teams are already halfway there, like the Royals or the Wraiths. An extraplanar team also opens up a completely new media market for the sport we love. Who wouldn't be interested in seeing what kind of strategies hobbits would devise? And if they've switched from their grey to their white uniforms at halftime, you know you're in trouble. It also opens up a new way to debate the game. For instance, what if the Seahawks had given the ball to Eagles in the super bowl? Could they have won, or would be the Eagles be corrupted by the power of the football and hand it over to Macolm Butler anyway? The possibilities are endless. Anyway, Mordor would be a fantastic location for a new franchise, it would even open the door for there to be a team set in an empty, godless, hellscape. Oh wait I forgot about yellowknife, well okay there would be two.
