I agree but cities get serious tax revenue from these sporting events. It's a two way street.

You also have to be realistic about your city. The Jags could probably move to other cities that would be better for them financially. The vast majority of cities have 0 leverage. And a team can stay "in your city" and still move, like the Braves did. They aren't playing in Atlanta anymore.
