Both.
You keep getting downvoted because you’re not really explaining yourself well. Let’s say all of the players, coaches, etc. just up and moved to another city but left the team name behind. What would be the difference between that and moving the whole team. I guess why question is what constitutes “the team”? Is it the players or the place. And if the latter, what does the place provide to that of the team?
Like I care. Being downvoted doesn't mean being wrong. Teams here are a passion intrinsically connected with their city, some of them going for almost 2 centuries, that's why the teams are named after the city, that's why the teams are NOT FOR SALE no matter how much money is involved. But, of course what can I expect from USA, when they don't even know how to use a relegation system and bend over the sponsor putting crap and ads all over their broadcasting matches.v
Alas, you are indeed wrong. Because you don't like the way things happen in the US doesn't make you right. But we will sleep well at night, living rent-free in your head. You should go watch a soccer match to get your mind off of it.
