If the US had relegation from baseball and football it would improve the sport.
At the moment there is no penalty for coming last in the AFL or NFL :-) oh and next year you have first pick of the best new players

The NFL, MLB, and the NBA are all higher revenue sports than the EPL. Even the NHL brings in more revenue than every other sports league than the big 3 North American sports + EPL- 30% more than La Liga or Bundesliga. So if revenues for sports without relegation are so much greater than the revenues for sports with relegation, why would it improve the sport?
In terms of money, which is a rough but reasonable proxy for fan interest, limited entry leagues seem to make more money.
