Sports Teams

I've given you many serious suggestions to incorporate into Earth 2.0, so here's an entirely optional idea that you may want to kick around after you've fixed a particularly big problem. Virtually all sports teams are geographic-based. New York Yankees. Manchester United. Green Bay Packers. South Africa Springboks. Los Angeles Clippers. That's all fine and well, but as long as you're starting from scratch, why not base sports teams on the interests of the athletes?

I'll use Spanish professional soccer as an example. There are 20 teams in La Liga, each centered around a fixed longitude and latitude coordinate. As an experiment, I would like to see one team comprised entirely of skilled soccer players who also enjoy hiking, one team of motorcycle enthusiasts, one of wood-carvers, one of Type AB blood donors, etc. There would be 20 stadiums spread across the country, but no team would have a home stadium. They would rotate every week so that wood-carvers throughout Spain could see their favorite team without extensive traveling. Hardly worth your time, but you could do it as a favor to me. I promise I'll be nice to 20 people tomorrow.
