We're going to see some sweeping changes because of the virus.
Realign the division/conference/league of your favorite team(s) so you get the most enjoyment out of watching your favorite team - but it's also got to make the slightest bit of sense.
I'm just doing my divisions folks.
Go!
NFL
Eagles Giants Jets Patriots Bills Steelers Redskins Cowboys Ravens
NHL
Flyers Penguins Capitals Rangers Islanders Devils Bruins
NBA
Sixers Celtics Knicks Nets Wizards Lakers
MLB
Phillies Yanks Bosox Mets Braves Nats Pirates Os

If you don't do all the divisions it's pretty pointless, you'll likely end up with stragglers leftover in Florida and Washington state, and others that don't make geographical scene to be in the same division.

I still wish they would hold "just the Finals" for NBA and NHL.

Is the Redskins-Cowboys rivalry still a thing? Enough to have geographically insane divisions? Real rivalries are ones who people outside to the two cities care about. No one outside of Dallas or DC gives a shit

No one outside of Dallas or DC gives a shit I kept the Cowboys in there even though it makes 0 sense to be in the East - just because they are the most iconic NFL franchise and their rivalries with the Skins, Giants and Eagles are important.

Imagine the frenzied party at the Linc with the world champions rolling into town? Andy Reid returns with a ring. Mahomes throwing bombs all over the field. Think of the drama, the theater.

But it just doesn't make too much sense geographically.
Only reason I kept the Cowboys is because they're the most iconic NFL team and their rivalries are important.

What about the Lakers and the entire East coast?

They're pretty much the most iconic team in the NBA.
And it puts them with the the other iconic teams in the NBA.
Sixers Knicks and let's throw the Celts in there too
Historic matchups/rivalries

After a year or two with Dallas playing Houston twice a year, they would forget about the Skins
How many big rivalries are not geographically sensible? Celtics-Lakers, but that's only big in the playoffs. USC-Notre Dame

I used to realign the leagues "just for fun" and ironically, one of my MLBs was the exact same 3 x 10 lineup that leaked the other day.
