Hardcore troubadour 12,656 Posted August 8, 2019 Let's say you're a MLB/NFL player and you want to put in a no trade clause, leaving out state/Canadian tax implications. What 5 teams would you put in it? Here's mine. MLB- Minnesota , Atlanta, Philadelphia , Baltimore, Seattle NFL- Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Tennessee, Baltimore, Seattle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For baseball, I would not want to play in Tampa or Miami. No team support and hot as balls. Throw Detroit into that mix as well. That city sucks all the time.

Similar to what the Yankees have to deal with, the spot light can make some guys not want to come here. David Price is miserable because when he sucks (which is quite often), he hears it from the media and he has rabbit ears. Kyrie Irving was the same way. Great sports town, but some guys like to just collect their check and not hear the fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bostonlager 2,465 Posted August 8, 2019 MLB - The entire AL East - I don't want anything to do with Canada and would find a way to be on the disabled list if I had to play there. I would also have it in my contract that when I'm injured, you must say I am on the disabled list. None of this PC injury list. NFL - Cincinnati - Mike Brown is a focktard. NYG & NYJ - I don't like NY. 49ers - Don't like gays. Jax - They go to London every year. I hate Europe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not being AA, that holds little weight with me, and the skins have little chance of winning a title while Daniel Snyder is above ground. The same could be said for better than half the teams in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZ hasn't been poorly run since Michael Bidwill took over the team from his pathetic dad, which was over 10 years ago. Also the weather can't be beat during most of their time here. Tons of athletes retire here even if they didn't play here; you can't say that for those other cities. "Hey honey, now that I'm retired, wanna move to Detroit?"
