Name two American franchise leagues.

The National Football League (NFL) and the National Basketball Association (NBA) are franchise leagues.

Why can a franchise team move city?

A franchise belongs to its owner, who can relocate it for a better market or stadium. Local supporters have little say.

How has the franchise model appeared in UK sport?

Cricket's The Hundred uses city-based teams created for the competition. Wimbledon FC's move to Milton Keynes in 2003 was compared to a franchise relocation.

What is the golden triangle?

The golden triangle is the three-way relationship between sport, the media and sponsors. Each depends on the other two for money or content.

What is meant by the Americanisation of sport?

Americanisation is the spread of American sporting styles, franchises and entertainment worldwide. Features include cheerleaders, big-screen shows and a focus on spectacle.
