- 1200000000 (xsd:integer)
- Without citations, this entire section is WP:SYNTH. (en)
- Separately of the other preceding unsourced statements, the financial situation of the Coyotes lacks significant context here. (en)
- If this refers to the List of professional sports leagues by revenue, then this statement is at best redundant, and at worst the use of _lucrative_ suggests a conflation of revenue with profit. Without additional sourcing, this statement is dubious per the content of the Guardian article cited in the Overview section, which notes the EPL is a less lucrative business than American leagues. (en)
- Who defines this criteria for the term major league? This is WP:OR or opinion without a citation. (en)
- Citation source does not support its statement, instead comparing MLS business metrics to NFL/NHL/NBA/MLB. It makes no statements on quality of play. Source does not define the term _major league_ or the stated criteria, nor does it use the term at all beyond the headline. Source also is not WP:IS; the blog post backs many statements solely with links to primary sources, with MLS attendance supported by a link to Wikipedia article titled Average attendances of professional sports teams in the United States and Canada, which had already been deleted on quality concerns in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Average attendances of professional sports teams in the United States and Canada by the archive date. (en)
- Citation is relevant only to the Soviet shamateurism claim, and not to any of the other preceding statements. (en)
- Citation is for the 2016 season, which includes none of the numbers in the cited statement. (en)
- How do these criteria define the term _major league_ for status? What is the source of this definition, or of the criteria? How is the status notable? (en)
- The Sacramento bid is relevant elsewhere in this article , but not here, and its cited source doesn't mention promotion or relegation. (en)
- Statement is dubious, particularly with the inclusion of CFL and MLS, and this source is only a list of MLB team valuations and revenues. (en)
