As you may have noticed, a few polls have been popping up lately, and seem to be working quite well. Therefore, the Arena Mods believe that these should be an ongoing rotation thing, bringing up new topics every so often for discussion. We would like you to help us by suggesting poll topics.
At the moment, we're going to try to keep it to one every two weeks (we don't want to become a mini-Census), and topics will most likely revolve around any major events happening at the time (eg. World Cup, Finals series) or major issues in the Media (eg. Drugs, Match-fixing etc.)
Remember when suggesting your poll topics, that only 10 slots are available in the poll. If you have more than ten options, it's best to leave a space for an 'Other' option.

Well obviously once the Bowl games for College and the NFL Playoffs get closer, you should either have a poll or game where everyone that wants to play puts their name in to reserve a spot for which team they think will win. For the Super Bowl, an MVP can be named like the one that was done for the MLB playoffs. And then do the same for the NHL and NBA playoffs when they arrive. Then once the Olympics get close, you can have some kind of poll for as many sports as you think people will watch or want to watch (basketball, track, baseball, gymnastics, etc.) and maybe a poll as to who gets the first medal, first U.S. medal, etc.

Greatest American sports franchise of all time.
Packers(12 championships)
San Francisco 49ers(5 Superbowls)
Dallas Cowboys(5 Superbowls)
Pittsburgh Steelers(5 Superbowls)
Boston Celtics(16 Championships
Los Angeles Lakers(13 Championships)
New York Yankees(26 World Series)
St. Louis Cardinals(10 World Series)
then there's two more spots... I guess whatever the two best hockey teams of all time are can go there, cuz I have no idea who they are. 
And those championships are all off the top of my head, so if the numbers aren't right or if there's other teams with more, then they can go in those spots.

You'd probably need to change it to "North American" if you want to include hockey. For my money, the Montreal Canadiens are the best NHL franchise of all time.
Also, it seems your only determining factor is # of championships. Not saying that's incorrect, just wondering if there's anyone being excluded that might need to be included.
If we want to do that poll, A_J, we're probably best to try to put our heads together and get two each from the big four, an odd one thrown in (maybe something defunct, just for laughs), plus an "other" option.

I figured that's how franchises were always judged... you're not successful unless you win it all..

Here are a few suggestions
1} Champions League winners - this I suppose would have to wait until the eight quarter finalists are known, plus a 'don't care' option.
2} Pound-for-pound the best boxer - I'll leave this to those with better knowledge of boxing than me to fill in the eight other spaces behind Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe 
3} Worst sport -
Formula One {mobile advertising hordings}
Gridiron {face it, noone outside the US gives a monkey's}
Golf {Scotland's revenge}
Cricket {play for 5 days and still no winner}
Football {in the interests of fairness}
Horse racing {exists purely to part gamblers from their money}
Long distance track running {multiple times round a 400m track is so soporific}
Crown Green Bowls {to play this you must be nearly dead}
Snooker {better in black and white, at least you can try to guess which ball is which}
Other.
4} Most Underrated sport -
Hurling {Irish psycho hockey}
Luge {sliding down the hill on a tea tray}
Aussie Rules Football {The rules are: there aren't any}
Moto GP {proper motor sport}
Crown Green Bowls {actually a very tactical game requiring a lot of skill - just awful to watch}
Bog Snorkling {yes, this does really exist}
Ice Speedway {no brakes AND no grip}

I could do that, but bear in mind there are only two people who actually post in the boxing thread consistently, and I'm one of them Not sure how many votes you'll get.
