Chargers announce move to Los Angeles
#18
I'm not quite sure why teams are even associated with certain cities. It would be much more interesting if every team could only have players who were born and raised in the cities or states they play for, but it's not even close. 
They have zero requirements of residency and no player is actually required to do any type of community service for the towns they play in. Short of paying income tax (I have a hunch many avoid those) that's about the only ties many have and yet many fans pretend that the star players represent their town..
Hint: They don't. 
I think the only requirement is they once in awhile get in front of the mic and say they like the city and even that's a stretch.
