And you think soccer is the only professional sport in England? No, but what other sport is played on that level in England? I'm not an expert on English Sports but I can't find any other comparable league. In Rugby Union you have the Guinness Premiership with 12 teams, but they are all smaller concerns in terms of money. The league isn't like the top American professional leagues or the Premier League in soccer/football. They have a 2.25 million pound salary cap per team. There are another 12 in the Super League which plays "Rugby League" but that is a European league not just an English or British league, and I also think that's a a more minor league than the other top leagues we have been talking about. Also there are also professional Cricket players but it doesn't seem like the teams are financially a big deal, quite a few teams and leagues though, which you might like. I don't know if some of them are semi-pro or amateur. en.wikipedia.org Or to get to the point rather then just throwing more information out, I don't think the other English sports have something that would be consider major leagues in the American sense.
