Could this happen to swimming whereas suit companies like TYR, Diana, Jaked, and blueseventy create a pro league that has an external governing body way outside of FINA's jurisdiction?
Could this happen to Swimming:
"Formula one racing teams drop breakaway bombshell!"
Is there a similar type league in Track and Field? Or skiing?
Two examples of upstarts competing and beating the establishment:
The AFL was started in the 60's and competed with the NFL for a decade. When Joe Namath and the JETS beat the Colts in the 1969 Super Bowl, the NFL agreed to accept the AFL into it's league as equal partners. Now we have the NFL, consisting of the AFC (mostly old AFL teams) and the NFC (mostly old NFL teams).
The ABA was absorbed by the NBA a few years later.
Let's hope for a commonsense resolution to the suit ratification issue. I am surprised that the matter was not quickly resolved.
