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

Here nobody thinks on the corp. Owning the team. Is all about the city representation.

Again, that’s your opinion, mine is that’s the teams are walking advertisements as is every jersey that is bought by a fan.
