Okay, well, you explain to the mob of fans with torches and pitchforks that gathered at City Hall when their beloved Mudskippers move to Toledo.
Perhaps it's time to break the sports leagues' monopolies, which solves both the pitchfork and mudskipper problems. I think Europe has more sensible laws on how the sports leagues work, but I've never been clear on it.
