b4 i looked at the site i thought it was a great name for the idea i was assuming -- "area" teams in the semi-anonymous onion sense, meaning, local teams like high school, local/division ii/iii college, etc.

not that focusing on the majors is bad -- it's a good idea -- i just thought it worth mentioning that the word "area" conjured up high school and not majors for me.

Yes i thought it would definitely include local high school games and even possibly local hobby leagues. There are a lot of those. Funny when I grew up in Richmond, VA there was a local Rugby league. The athletes there were amazing . I was just lucky I lived nearby and I am not sure if anyone else in the neighborhood even knew about it . If they did they would have been exposed to a different sport from a different culture with great action.
