Although some Major League Baseball teams are owned by large corporations-notably the Seattle Mariners, purchased by Japanese consumer electronics giant Nintendo in 1992-some other major North American professional sports leagues, and some European football leagues, explicitly ban corporate ownership of teams. Like Japanese baseball and football, the CBA faces the problem of top Chinese players moving overseas to play in the NBA and other professional leagues around the world. The CSL has a structure similar to the other football leagues in Asia, following a hybrid model that copies the organization of professional football in Europe, while following the East Asian practice of corporate ownership of teams.	./cache/cord-016950-fnb3yc45.txt	./txt/cord-016950-fnb3yc45.txt
