[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 638772, member: 20605"] Completely different situation LG. North America truly have Franchise systems and they are totally transportable. Many of them have moved cities over the years Oakland Raiders became Los Angeles Raiders in 1982, then went back to Oakland Raiders in 1995 Baltimore Colts became the Indianapolis Colts in 1984 St. Louis Cardinals became the Phoenix Cardinals in 1988 then changed their name to the Arizona Cardinals in 1994 Los Angeles Rams becaome the St. Louis Rams in 1995 (the orginall were the Cleveland Rams prior to 1946) Houston Oilers moved to Memphis TN and became the Tennessee Oilers 1997 then moved to Nashville in 1998 and renamed themselves Tennessee ***ans in 1999 And that is just NFL and only in the last 30 or so years. Can you imagine a team like Toulon suddenly deciding to base themselves in, say, Marseilles? [/QUOTE]
