Is like they asked a 8 year old who watched transformers to name them plus drawing the logos. Especially in NBA and NFL.

Also the idea of a city “buying a team” from another state blows my mind… Imagine if that was a thing in Europe, Chelsea FC, in Newcastle or Bayern München in Hamburg. Barcelona FC In Madrid… That would cause a riot lol

    You kinda have to have the stupid names when moving teams. Chelsea FC would be Chelsea Megakillers FC and would then be Newcastle Megakillers FC.

      Both shouldn’t be a thing to be begin with. Is like you lost prestige with a silly name plus not being really rooted to a city.

        Yeah, it’s one thing to buy the functional parts of a team, say the trainer + the players. But you buy them into your city’s team.
