The “N” when standing for National should have and uphold certain standards when pertaining to the nationally broadcasted sports that many families and impressionable children watch. We have seen over the years leagues such as the NBA and NFL gaslight and involve themselves in highly political and sensitive national matters that impact public opinion, security and sentiment while also seemingly being influenced by their desire to expand on an international basis in order to reap larger profits for their leagues and advertiser agreements.
I would propose that anyone who is being recognized being a “National” league to have have to meet certain standards that uphold the values of the USA, constitution and our flag. If you chose as a league to step outside of those National standards and would rather expand into countries or be influenced on your values in playing oversees games or being allowed into their consumer markets you would have to drop the “N” as a US recognized National league and instead be replaced with an “I” or some other letter as you have chosen to dis-align yourself with the national values in favor of international expansion and monies.
Carrying the N or National should be a matter of pride in a league, not given or taken advantage of and I’m sure there are many other leagues that would jump at the opportunity to take that N while upholding the Nation’s values that would come with that honor.
