Chapters

Many sports teams, especially in North America, didn't originate in their current cities. This episode explores the history of relocated sports teams and the reasons behind their moves.
  • Team relocation is a primarily North American phenomenon.
  • European football clubs rarely relocate due to their club model and promotion/relegation system.
  • North American teams operate under a franchise system, prioritizing business interests.

Shownotes Transcript

Many people have one or more favorite sports teams. Most people support these teams because they happen to be the team close to where they live. 

What many people don’t realize is that many teams, especially major sports teams in North America, didn’t originate in the city where they are today. 

In some cases, teams have moved multiple times, changed names, and even returned to the city where they originally came from. 

Learn more about relocated sports teams and teams that have gone defunct on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
