I think so too, but with the (more international) name "sport" instead of
"sports"...  i.e.:

  lugnet.sport

with the potential for sub-expansion, for example:

  lugnet.sport.basketball
  lugnet.sport.football
  lugnet.sport.hockey

Works for me! The problem though is... what is football? With the
international flavor of the name you can make an excellent and valid
argument that football is soccer and not NFL. (if and when NFL ever gets
licensed)
As much as I've always wanted this to happen, it'd be kinda hard.  Kicking,
the football itself, the field, and running all come into factor.

Also, I wonder if the names ought to go with the licenses?

lugnet.sport.NBA and lugnet.sport.NHL

rather than the sports themselves...

lugnet.sport.basketball and lugnet.sport.hockey

This conforms to the product names LEGO(r) chose right? It doesn't, I don't
think, help with soccer/football though.
Your right.  It works well for everything but that.  My only suggestion
would be to use spanish and say futbol.

Finally will you be able to move existing groups or do you have to
close/archive and start anew? In the past IIRC you were able to perform magic.
Same question as him.
