    That’s a fair argument.

    Counterpoint is I’ve heard of Buffalo and part of that reason is because of the Bills. People gravitate towards latching onto sports team and it makes them feel invested in them and their city. I have no connection with either city but if I get a job offer to move to Buffalo, NY or to Bismarck, ND you damn well know which one I’m picking. It’s a level of prestige it gives a city. If they have a sports team I know they’re going to be a moderately okay place to live with things to do.

    Also $850 million spread out over 20 million New Yorkers is a bit different than $900 million spread out across 4 million Oklahomans.
