text: Buddy,   I don't want to be insulting. 50 states, but the US is one country.  Are you proposing Team California, Team Indiana, Team Michigan, Team Rhode Island.  That's absurd.  50 states that fall under one Federal Government, one country.  Australia has something like six states no?  How many provinces does Canada have?  They are one country too.  So, your aim to create more competition, is the wrong way to go.  I don't want to see divided countries.
