As a result, its sporting traditions are relatively young as well. Most of the professional teams and leagues in Canada developed only in the last 30 years or so. However, athletes playing their <strong>respective <\/strong>sports for money <strong>date<\/strong>s back to the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Canada has six National Hockey League (NHL) teams, eight Canadian Football League (CFL) clubs, two Major <strong>League Baseball <\/strong>(MLB) clubs, and one National Basketball Association (NBA) team. There are also smaller professional soccer and <strong>lacrosse <\/strong>leagues in Canada. It is estimated that professional sports and leagues throughout the country <strong>contribute <\/strong>over $600 million in value to the country&#8217;s economy, and <strong>account <\/strong>for over 23,000 jobs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of the professional sports, hockey has the longest history and the greatest cultural influence on Canadians. The NHL has been in existence since 1917; however, organized professional and amateur leagues existed in Canada long before then. Many small-town teams competed for local or provincial championships, and had a strong influence on those Canadians who had little access to, or knowledge of, big-city teams in Toronto or Montreal. In fact, it was not until NHL games were broadcast on the Canadian national radio &#8220;Hockey Night in Canada&#8221; radio broadcasts that many Canadians had experienced an NHL game. Indeed, despite the fact that the NHL was considered Canada&#8217;s most <strong>prestigious<\/strong> league, it was not until <strong>the advent of<\/strong> television in the 1950s that most Canadians had even seen an NHL game.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Today, all professional sport in Canada is <strong>in one way or another<\/strong> affected by the more powerful American leagues. In the sports of baseball and basketball, Canada has no professional leagues of its own. Instead, Canadian teams play in the <strong>American-dominated<\/strong> leagues. These leagues require a large <strong>concentrated<\/strong> audience in order to <strong>generate revenue<\/strong>s for the team and, <strong>in turn<\/strong>, the league in general. As a result, the major team <strong>franchise<\/strong>s exist in the large <strong>urban<\/strong> centres: Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. Even between those cities, the teams are not <strong>evenly<\/strong> spread. Probably the most famous teams in the American-dominated leagues are both Toronto teams: the &#8220;Blue Jays&#8221; in Major League Baseball and the &#8220;Raptors&#8221; in the National Basketball Association.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Many Canadians worry that the American <strong>dominance<\/strong> of professional sport is a threat to Canadian independence. As an important <strong>component <\/strong>of national culture, sport reflects and <strong>reinforce<\/strong>s the <strong>norms<\/strong> and values of Canada. However, the most <strong>sought-after<\/strong> and <strong>visible<\/strong> teams in Canada are ones in American-dominated leagues. Even the National Hockey League-once considered a secure Canadian sports icon-has its<strong> corporate<\/strong> offices in New York. <strong>Debate<\/strong>s about the threat of American-dominated professional sport to Canadian <strong>sovereignty <\/strong>will undoubtedly continue in the future.<\/p>\n<hr dir=\"ltr\" \/>\n<hr dir=\"ltr\" \/>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">relatively<br \/>\nquite; when compared to others of the same kind: The exam was relatively easy. | a relatively warm day for the time of year | Relatively speaking it\u2019s not important.<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nentity<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 300px; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/salamzaban.com\/conversation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/entity-wohttps:\/\/salamzaban.com\/conversation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/man-1.webp\" alt=\"entity\" \/><br \/>\nsomething that has a single separate and independent existence: After the war Germany was divided and was no longer one political entity.<br \/>\nThe mind exists as a separate entity .<br \/>\nGood design brings a house and garden together as a single entity .<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8212;<br \/>\nrespective<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">used before a plural noun to refer to the different things that belong to each separate person or thing mentioned<br \/>\nof or for each one; particular and separate: The two friends said goodbye and went to their respective homes.<br \/>\nWe all went back to our respective homes to wait for news.<br \/>\nthe respective roles of teachers and students<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8212;<br \/>\ndate:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 300px; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/salamzaban.com\/conversation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/man-looking-watch-appointment-1.webp\" alt=\"date\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8212;<br \/>\nlacrosse<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 300px; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/salamzaban.com\/conversation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/lacrosse-team-rivals-1.webp\" alt=\"lacrosse\" \/><br \/>\na game played on a field by two teams of ten players, in which each player has a long stick with a net on the end of it and uses this to throw, catch, and carry a small ball<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8212;<br \/>\nWhy do we say:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 300px; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/salamzaban.com\/conversation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/national-hockey-league-player-1.webp\" alt=\"National_Hockey_League\" \/><br \/>\nNational Hockey League<br \/>\nFootball League<br \/>\nbut we say:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 300px; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/salamzaban.com\/conversation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/league-baseball-match-1.webp\" alt=\"League_Baseball\" \/><br \/>\nLeague Baseball<br \/>\nnot Baseball League?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Answer:<br \/>\nIn the U.S. we say baseball league all the time, but the trademarked names of the professional leagues focus on the first word (which you&#8217;ve omitted in your question): Major Leagues, American League, National League. The brand names use them as adjectival phrases modifying for the word &#8220;baseball.&#8221;<br \/>\nOther leagues do the same thing with their names: Peewee League football, for example, or Babe Ruth baseball (without the word &#8220;league&#8221;). The name of the sport is often not part of their brand, and I think I&#8217;m correct in not capitalizing it in these two examples.
