It seems likely the league will undergo expansion again one day soon. What would you like to see in a new expansion team? What should it be called, where should it be located, and who do you think would be in the best position to GM? Explain why.
-------------------------------
I would like to see more unique places in the league (like Honolulu), so perhaps a Japan or Korean based team could be a nice addition. The cities could be Tokyo or Seoul most likely. For Tokyo we could have the Cherry Blossoms. Yes, an awful name, but it’s not like this suggestion will be followed up. The Cherry Blossoms are blossoming in spring time and it turns the entire city pink in its leafs. In March and April there are also Cherry Blossom festivals in the city, so it is something that Tokyo is actually known for. The first name coming to mind for people for Tokyo is usually the Tokyo Drift, but lets not name our teams after a the fast and the furious movie. For Seoul we could go with the Seoul Wave, referencing the influx of the pop culture from Korea, mostly known for it’s K-Pop. I would hate having to play for a team that talks about k pop constantly , but at least we can bundle these people together so it will not interfere in the other locker rooms. A win / win situation regardless. Pure from a Dutch point of view I would also like to see my local city in a league, Nijmegen.  And as it’s a former Roman stronghold I would love to see the Nijmegen Emperors again (a name my local hockey team once used). But the city isn’t that well known to the rest of the world, so for the Netherlands it would probably end up being an Amsterdam team instead.

The major reason for wanting a different location is most of the teams in all these kind of sim leagues are usually United States or Canada based. As someone from Europe it’s also fun to see something different, we just always see the same cities over and over again, so different continents would certainly be an improvement for the expansion team.
GM wise, I don’t really have an idea yet, I don’t know who would be interested and what their qualifications would be. But I would like to select someone who would be in it for a long term, in the short time in this league I have noticed a lot of managers already switching 2-3 seasons in or switching co-gm positions. But for the stability of the new franchise, I would love to find people to do it for the long run, but the applications for this can be opened, as I don’t have anyone to suggest for this.

Your player has been paid to endorse a product/service. What is it? How do you endorse it?

My player seems to be a notorious alcoholic, so I would believe he would be paid to endorse some beer brand. But to put in the words of my player: not the light stuff, that is for pussies. So he would probably be promoting a type that could get you completely wasted in just a matter of minutes. The best way to show that a certain beer gets you smashed up, is to make sure you are caught drinking it before the game starts and then have some horrible plays. This gets the national media all over you, which in return of course is a great way to show off the brand. We don’t only have to do it for games, my player is also available to drink the product at training camp, while watching the games of other teams, or even on your own wedding if you pay for my ticket @"BayleyIsland"

The best way to endorse it, is to see my player in action with it. And with Kai being a drunk about 99% of the time, there is no doubt in my mind that this would be a successful campaign. But keep in mind, if your team loses, it is not because I was drunk, it was because your quarterback gave me the ball.
