* Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.)

* Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.

Merger proposal

I propose to merge USL East Bay into Oakland Roots SC. The recent news that Oakland aquired USL East Bay's territorial rights and the ultimate death of that proposal should speak enough to that. The information from that page could be brought here and put into a section detailing Oakland's jump from NISA to USLC. ColeTrain4EVER (talk) 17:09, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support, I think the East Bay content would be better suited as a section of the Oakland Roots article. BLAIXX 00:32, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support, per both of you. IPOokap (talk) 20:02, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support, The USL East Bay group no longer exists and the information would be better served as a section in the Oakland Roots page. Rbradeyb1 14:32, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing graphic

What's the point of this graphic? It's confusing, as it implies free movement between divisions. We might as well create a graphic for the annual league standings of the Toledo Mud Hens with the Texas League below and American League above.

If promotion and relegation are ever instituted in the sport, this graphic would be appropriate. But for now, this graphic just doesn't make sense. SixFourThree (talk) 18:18, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the only way the graphic can make sense. Superfluous information removed. SixFourThree (talk) 18:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested corrected graphic for Oakland Roots league position
