Love it. I'm not familiar with any of these teams though, what sports are they supposed to play?

The Ravens, Vikings, and Bears are football. Wizards and Raptors are basketball.
Transfer portal is Minecraft.
- NFL Football free agency (free transfer)
- Same
- American college sports, which is in a bit of an existential crisis because it started 130 years ago as roughly equivalent to Oxford and Cambridge doing rowing regattas, but football and basketball have been "wink and nod" U23 professional leagues for 80+ of them, and the legal underpinnings of its version of amateurism are being eroded in the courts. The "transfer portal" is meant to organize the chaos that comes when athletes request to continue their eligibility for an "athletic scholarship" at a new school.
- Same
- NBA basketball mandatory injury reporting.
Probably that sport they put between adverts in the US
Ball
Whose idea was it to make a transfer portal between the magical forest and the wizard’s enclave anyway?
I’ll bet it was Derick.
is there no hero to save us from the Madness
The sports team names make sense, but what the heck is ”transfer portal”?
Free agency, but for college sports. Which is basically an under 23 league.
Works well for horse racing as well.
"Mystik Dan beats Sierra Leone, wins purse."
In the uk sports teams just share a name with their city! Both seem pretty cool! Although the British way of doing things can sometimes be confusing
"[City] is about to go bankrupt" Do they mean the team or the city? Both are just as believable and as someone who doesn't care about sport, one is significantly more scary!
Portal out of control?! That Wolf is out of control!
Fucking US sports franchises with their names.
