I think every professional sport ought to have an exhibition game for the two worst teams. Don’t play innings or quarters, just set up two hours and play; every score means a donation from the team to a charity of their choice. There would be no trophy or title, and it would not be a competition in which one team would be considered the worst just for not scoring a lot of points.
Unfortunately all three of the big sports teams in Philadelphia would be participating right now. None of them are winning. But in the City of Brotherly Love, the people believe in good will if nothing else, so such an idea would probably go over well.
That would also mean that the top winning teams in each sport would want to come up with something special of their own (other than the championships). Now that is something positive for everybody, even when a team really sucks.
