Ugh...I never understood the franchise thing in American sports really. In the UK I think the general idea is you support the team in the place you come from. Obviously that doesn't always happen, far from it, but that's the idea.
What do fans of a team that relocates generally do? Will 49ers fans still follow the 49ers or hope another NFL team comes to San Fran? There would be countrywide outrage if Liverpool football club decided to move to London...
It did happen once actually....Wimbledon moved from London to Milton Keynes and became MK Dons. But Milton Keynes isn't all that far from London.
