I understand maximizing profits but leaving iconic fanbases behind like the Raiders, and ditching cities after years of commitment to a professional team in taxes and advertising is just terrible
It really is. Cities are loyal through losing seasons. Often decades of losing seasons (see: 2003-2015 Raiders), as well as multiple stadiums. Yet when a team sees the first sign of trouble landing a free stadium, they often bolt within a couple years. I mean, 10% of the entire league has relocated within the last year. It's a major turn off.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
