American Sports Leagues

Major League Baseball, the National Football League, and the National Basketball Association are the three largest professional sports leagues in the United States.

Every block of competition is broken into an annual season where one champion is crowned out of all competitors. For the three leagues, seasons vary greatly in terms of games played. The NFL, for instance, only plays 16 games per season per team, while the NBA plays 82, and the MLB plays 162 games per season per team. At the end of each season, the leagues culminate in a playoff where the best teams compete for that season's championshop title.

National Parks

A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of 'wild nature' for posterity and as a symbol of national pride. An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA), has defined "National Park" as its Category II type of protected areas.
