Day 4 Minor League Ball Teams Research 2-3

Today I continued the research of the sports management about Minor League Ball Teams. Minor leagues are professional sports leagues that are not regarded as the premier leagues in those sports. Minor league teams tend to play in smaller, less elaborate venues, often competing in smaller cities/markets. They generally have lesser fan bases, much smaller revenues, and salaries, and are used to develop players for bigger leagues. The minor league concept is a manifestation of the franchise system used in North American sports, whereby the group of major league teams in each sport is fixed for long periods between expansions or other adjustments, which only take place with the consent of the major league owners. Similar to the four major professional leagues in the U.S. sports market, the minor leagues are also mainly corresponding to their professional leagues, respectively, including MiLB for MLB, G League for NBA, and ECHL for NHL. However, there is one thing different from the other three professional leagues (NFL, NBA, and MLB), while there are various semi-professional football leagues, none have any affiliation with the National Football League (NFL). Minor league football is a loose term for pro football (gridiron) which is played below the major league level. In other words, NFL does not have a real minor league team right now.
