This is a fun time for soccer fans who are fans of other sports. The NBA Playoffs are in full swing, as are the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Major League Baseball is in full swing, and it won’t be long before NFL teams are in training camp and college football is preparing for a new season. On the soccer side, Major League Soccer is in the early third of the season, while European top flight leagues will soon wrap up either this weekend (Premier League) or next weekend (Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A).
However, as we watch all these sports, one can’t help but think of how some teams in different sports may not be all that different.
