What is the famous “mathematical temperance” in America?

In the United States, sports activity has not stopped in recent weeks, giving rise to a phenomenon that has been named over time in a strange way.

With the start of the National Basketball League season (nba)Monday Night Football of Week 8 of the National Football League (NFL)Activity in the National Hockey League (National Hockey League) and the dispute over the Major League Baseball World Series (MLB)the call was made “Sports moderation in America.”

On October 30 this year, the sporting calendar of the country's top leagues converged in terms of date and time (in some cases).

This wouldn't be the first time the so-called “athletic moderation” has occurred (I've already accumulated 30 times); Its first edition dates back to October 17, 1971, when twelve games were played in the NFL, three games in the NBA, six games in the NHL and one game in Major League Baseball.

Although recently they have become more frequent and almost every year. This coincidence is largely due to the expansion of the NFL calendar as they chose to add another week to their regular season and extended the postseason with an additional Wild Card game and of course Thursday night games.

Finally, the games that gave life to another version of this strange phenomenon were Game 3 of the MLB Fall Classic between the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks, the duel between the Las Vegas Raiders and Detroit Tigers, nine games in the NHL and eleven games in the NBA.
