It has happened here. Washington lost two baseball teams over the course of like 20 years (if that).

But I do know what you're saying. I hate the fact that a new guy could buy any of the teams I love, which is basically all of the DC teams because I'm a big time homer like that, and move them to the middle of bumf**k just for the hell of it. How the hell is Oklahoma City a better place for an NBA team than Seattle? Just because they supported the Hornets for like a half of a season doesn't lead me to believe that they will be a top market.
