Is the ABA the worst run league in the history of Minor League Sports?

[Paul S]

I mean this thing is just sheer horror show. I actually root for it to succeed only because the comic value of this board, articles like the one from Halifax and the stories of owners taking loans out of a 401K to start an expansion team are simply too amazing to be comprehended.

My top 5........

1/ ABA (Pauls' winner of the 1st annual "Whilst Nero Fiddled" Award)

2/ NIFL ( (our insurance fraud convicted man Cleveland Gary and his divorced business partner who runs the league out of her ex-husbands trucking company back room is close)

3/ EIFL( a strong contender but seeing as it folded so quickly it can't be considered )

4/ ABA2000( - Joes' 2nd time in the top 5!!!! 7 teams in 7 cities with about 7 fans per game. 3 of the teams had the name Dogs/Dawgs in the nickname.

5/ NEHL( - The Jim Cashman attempt to play pro hockey, just organize a league around you and watch it flounder.)

My Top 5

1. ABA: Biggest crock of so-called pro league. Get the F out high school gyms you damn rec league
2. NIFL: The Black Joe Newman and the Female Joe Newman of the game
3. AAPBL: enough said
4. USBL: Do i have to go any further with what has happened through the years?
5 ABA2K: See #1. The theory of crappy evolution is there.
