With salaries getting out of hand and teams reaching the max they can charge for tickets..... it's only a matter of time before teams become city-less and are called by the corporation owning them.
Not like the "Chicago Bears presented by...." but such as..... the Cablevision Indians, Proctor&Gamble Reds, or it could go the other way and be.... the Cleveland Quicken Loaners (cavaliers). It's almost inevitable, based on the economics of pro sports.. And in the early days that was how clubs were named. The original name for the Indians were the Cleveland Forest City's because the Owners of the corporation "Forest City" owned the team.
Plus it allows teams to move from city to city if they can't get the attendences needed.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
