During that time, the United States population doubled and expanded to the south and west. Rival interests explored the possibility of forming a rival league in the untapped markets. To forestall that possibility, one of the measures that MLB took was to expand by four teams in and Over the past four decades, MLB expanded further, to its current team membership. In the context of MLB, the term "expansion team" is also used to refer to any of the 14 teams enfranchised in the second half of the 20th century. Indoor American football leagues are notorious for doing so: the leagues can double the number of teams and have many new teams fail within a year or two.

Major League Soccer , after spending most of its first decade of existence with relatively stable membership and struggling finances, adopted a policy of continuous expansion beginning in , a policy that the league as of has no intention of stopping. When an expansion team begins play, it is generally stocked with less talented free agents , inexperienced players, and veterans nearing retirement. Additionally, prospective owners may face expensive fees to the league as well as high startup costs such as stadiums and facilities.

The team is also at a disadvantage in that it has not been together as a team as long as its opponents and thus lacks the cohesiveness other teams have built over years.

As a result, most expansion teams are known for their poor play during their first seasons. Expansion teams must also compete with any expansion rivals for available talent, a common problem since leagues often expand by two or four teams in one season. Expansion teams are not necessarily doomed to mediocrity, however, as most leagues have policies which promote parity, such as drafts and salary caps, which give some expansion teams the opportunity to win championships only a few years after their first season.

The National Football League NFL , despite being considered the most generous in its revenue sharing and the strictest with its salary cap, has had far more difficulty bringing expansion teams up to par with their more established brethren. Of the six teams to have been added to the NFL since the AFL—NFL merger , the fastest turnaround between an inaugural season and the team's first Super Bowl victory was 27 seasons the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , established in , won Super Bowl XXXVII in the season ; none of the four teams to hold expansion drafts since [note 1] have ever won that contest, with only one, the Carolina Panthers who reached the game in their 9th and 21st seasons of existence playing in the game.

In , the Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars each made it to their respective conference championship games in their second season in the league. Expansion teams are usually considered as such in their first season and sometimes in their second season. If it moves, it is known as a relocated team , and if the name changes, the team is known as a renamed team.

In response to a negative attitude that some fans have towards relocated teams, [ according to whom? One exception is the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League NFL : when the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore , an agreement was reached for which the trademark and history of the pre Cleveland Browns remained in that city and was claimed by the post Browns when the league placed a new franchise there, even though the personnel and roster had moved to Baltimore to become the Ravens.

After the sale of the Hornets, new owner Tom Benson changed the name, colors, and mascot from Hornets to Pelicans. The Charlotte Hornets segment of the franchise's history was sold to the then- Charlotte Bobcats themselves formerly considered a expansion team and the New Orleans Hornets are now officially regarded as an expansion team. Cities and regions with large populations that lack a team are generally regarded to be the best candidates for new teams.

The operator of Super League, England's Rugby Football League , has also added teams to the lower levels of its league pyramid, specifically the Championship and League 1 , from both France and Wales, and most recently Canada. Dark brown, white all down the front of its chest. It stopped in the field and when it turned he saw what he described as five foot tail. The only thing I can think of, and what everyone else thought of is a cougar. This area we were hunting is south of the Trent river, near Codrington.

The first light coloured animal was later discovered to be a coyote. We saw him several times after.

And if the second animal my friend saw was significantly larger, I figure it was the same animal same morning and not too long after the other guy had seen it , perhaps trailing the coyote in an attempt to get it? We also came across a set of very fresh bear tracks while scouting on Sunday made that morning, had rained to previous day. The tracks indicate a large bear 5' plus. It was kind of unnerving walking in to our treestands knowing that a large bear and possibly a cougar were making this area their home.

We were told by another hunter that the bear shows little fear of humans. What are your guys thoughts on the possibilty of this being a cougar? Quote: The distribution of the Eastern Cougar F. During the twentieth century, cougars were reported in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, but some of the sightings proved to be encounters with cougars from other areas that had escaped from captivity.

There is no objective evidence actual cougar specimens or other unequivocal confirmation of the continuous presence of cougars in Eastern Canada since the nineteenth century. For example, since that time, no cougars been reported killed in Ontario, and the one animal killed in Quebec, in had escaped from captivity. In , the eastern subspecies was declared "endangered" by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. The status was re-examined in , and the animal was designated "data deficient" because there was not enough data to evaluate the status of the animal or it's classification as a subspecies.

End Quote This is not saying for sure that there is a wild population, as it also says that due to the high cost of research, the rarity and ellusiveness of the cougar, it is difficult to justify proving the existence of a wild population that is indigenous to Eastern Canada!

I have personally heard of three different sightings over the coarse of the last 15 yrs, from three different sources whom I consider to be credible! So you never know! By the looks of it they are out there, and population may be increasing.

I Spent a Month Dating Sugar Mamas and I Wouldn’t Do It Again

Up here in Quebec, minutes north of Montreal, my dad's friend lives on a small house lot backed with forest. One day he woke up to look out his backyard to see a cougar sitting on a large mound at the back end of his yard. He quickly called his wife to get her to see it too, which she did. He saw it again a few days later and then never again. This sighting is by a seasoned hunter who knows the difference between coyote, lynx, bobcat, bear, etc I saw one in , while back woods canoeing in Northwestern Ontario.

I covered the tracks with a plastic bag and when I got back into town I contacted the MNR and told them about the sighting. They told me point blank that there were no cougars in Ontario. I informed them that I had covered the tracks with plastic to preserve them and offered to take a couple of their officers to see them. The MNR declined my offer, stating again that there were no cougars. I am divorced lds black woman without kids from Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
