Since 2000 there have been 18 complete seasons in MLB and NHL for 12 and 11 different champions. There habe been 19 completed NFL seasons for 11 different champions. In those 3 sports combined there have been 3 instances of repeat champions, and that's if you count the 2000 Yankees (04-05 Pats and 16-17 Penguins are the other 2). NBA has had 19 completed seasons for 8 champions with 4 instances of repeat champions. You have to go all the way back to 1982-3 to reach 11 different champions. In that same time span 21 teams have won the WS, 17 have won the Stanley Cup and 15 have won the SB. The facts speak for themselves.

Thanks for the info Tafe. I just wonder how pathetic football (soccer leagues) are in terms of competition. You very often see repetition not just in home leagues but even in Europe wide leagues such as Champions League and Europa Cup. Football leagues absolutely suck. I love football as sport but the club level structure of that game is horrible.

In my opinion American system of salary cap is the way to go. I know one flaw with that system is that new teams can't enter in the first division leagues. I don't know how to fix that but salary cap adds a lot to make leagues competitive. After a long time I saw IPL cricket league this year and it was extremely interesting. Matches went right down to wire throughout the competition. That also is based on salary cap. So I have no doubt now that salary cap is the best system.
