Um...okay, well I'm sure you're right about that, but that wasn't on the list I saw. So, to be more specific: the five professional team sports leagues.

I bet that at least three of them are football (soccer) leagues. Am I close?

Two of them are soccer leagues.

The English Premier League and Serie A in Italy? Probably the NFL. I'm not sure of the others. Do we get a hint?

The answer, as revealed in the next post:
The five professional team leagues that have average attendance over 30,000 spectators are the National Football League (U.S.), Major League Baseball (U.S./Canada), the Bundesliga (Germany -- soccer), the FA Premier League (U.K. -- soccer again), and the Australian Football League (which is, duh, Australian rules football).
