ArmchairGM Hall of Fame Proposal

by user Alex Holowczak
I think it would be a good idea for ArmchairGm to have its' own Hall of Fame for sports stars, in order to honour those that have been popular or successful over the years. It should not be a copy of the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Football Hall of Fame, etc.
It would need separate sections for different sports, e.g. Cricket, Snooker, MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, Soccer, Auto Racing, Golf, Tennis, Athletics, Swimming, Rugby, etc.
I think that players, coaches (managers), referees (umpires), and commentators (announcers or presenters) should be allowed in…
I think players' inception to the Hall should have the following criteria:
- The player has been active for 5 years. He need not have retired.
- The player has represented his country, or played in an All-Star game.
- The player has been a fan favourite throughout his career.
- The player has shown compassion for his sport throughout his career.
- The player has shown loyalty to his club or franchise, or showed loyalty to the game.
- The player has shown great sportsmanship throughout his career.
- The player has to have been an MVP, World Champion or World Number 1, or has been at a club or franchise that has won the major trophies of that sport.
A player has to fulfil No. 1 on the list. If a player scores 4/6 on the other criteria, he/she should be let in.
I think coaches' inception should be based upon the following criteria:
- The coach has been active for 5 years. He need not have retired.
- The coach has coached his country, or coached in an All-Star game.
- The coach has been a fan favourite throughout his career.
- The coach has shown compassion for his sport throughout his career.
- The coach has shown loyalty to his club or franchise, or showed loyalty to the game.
- The coach has shown great sportsmanship throughout his career.
- The coach has to have coached the MVP, World Champion or World Number 1, or has been at a club or franchise that has won the major trophies of that sport.
A coach has to fulfil No. 1 on the list. If a coach scores 4/6 on the other criteria, he/she should be let in.
I think referees' inception should be based upon the following criteria:
- The referee has been active for 5 years. He need not have retired.
- The referee has refereed international matches, or refereed an All-Star game.
- The referee has been a fan favourite throughout his career.
- The referee has shown compassion for his sport throughout his career.
- The referee has shown loyalty to the game.
- The referee has a reputation of quality decision making.
- The referee has to have refereed games between the top teams and players in his sport.
A referee has to fulfil No. 1 on the list. If a referee scores 4/6 on the other criteria, he/she should be let in.
I think commentators' inception should be based upon the following criteria:
- The commentator has been active for 5 years. He need not have retired.
- The commentator has commentated international matches, or commentated on an All-Star game.
- The commentator has been a fan favourite throughout his career.
- The commentator has shown compassion for his sport throughout his career.
- The commentator has shown loyalty to the game.
- The commentator has a high reputation.
- The commentator has to have commentated on games between the top teams and players in his sport.
A commentator has to fulfil No. 1 on the list. If a commentator scores 4/6 on the other criteria, he/she should be let in.
Each player would have to be "voted" for by the armchairgm readers. They would need to take a player up for nomination, and see how many of the criteria they think they fulfill. Should the average be >=4/6, they would be incepted.
Any other type of sports profession that you can think of? Like the idea?
