Cleanup :
* Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state)
* Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.)
* Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing.
* Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."
Expand : Professional sports (crucial article explaining the salaried undertaking of sports)
* Sport industry (currently a sub-stub)
Photo : for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested images of sports and games and sub-categories.
Stubs : work on articles in Category:Sports stubs

There ought to be a way to unify this article with the stub about seasons in broadcasting stuck at the end of the main Season article. --Smack 00:09, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

regular season[edit]

the time when the bulk of games are played

That must be improved! These rhetorical questions may help. Is it generally true, historically and across sports and continents, that regular seasons are scheduled in advance by the leagues (as in the US majors)?

What is the difference between "league" and "cup" competitions that occur in-season? Presuming that neither one is scheduled by the leagues in advance: Do they differ regarding whether (a) clubs are responsible for arranging their own matches, (b) match-ups depend on the progress of the regular season, (c) match-ups depend on the progress of the special league/cup competition?

In other words, I hope this section may be rewritten using the concept of a schedule, perhaps a league schedule. --P64 (talk) 15:53, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

UFL?[edit]

is thre something more irrelevant that the only 5 teams United Football League (2009–) started in 2009?--Feroang (talk) 04:03, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Even though it may be the top level of professional football played in the US this fall, it's not a league of the same caliber as the rest of the table. I'd endorse removing it. —C.Fred (talk) 04:17, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Season table justification to add and stay[edit]

We can not put the near 2000 seasons in that table, for the 192 countries (UN members) in the world, and the 26 sport in the Summer Olympic Games, also the winter/snow sports, also we have not space to put the Sex Championaship that I and my friend play in saturdays.

I suggest we use a 1.000.000 attendance by season as minimus limit, base on List of attendance figures at domestic professional sports leagues. I guess that limit take out the UFL, and the Assoc-Football Ligue of Luxemburgo.
I Think also we should promote internationals event season over national or provintial season.
Finnaly the best league of that sport, because the low tier baseball season of that football-lover-country is not relevant. (Sorry for language, in every sense.)
I suppor we do articles as "Season sports in Canada" and "Season in Rugby League" to more longer specific details tables, also we need a rule about how name that articles.--Feroang (talk) 00:46, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

unsourced[edit]

What I removed was completely unsourced but my edit was reverted. I see virtually no sources on many sections here. 66.235.168.216 (talk) 07:02, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
