Professional sports teams move all the time in the United States and Canada. By operating under a unique system of governance, leagues can artificially inflate the values of their major league teams and convince cities and taxpayers to spend millions and billions of dollars on amenities.

Join Geoff and Hunter as they explore the crazy world of relocating sports franchises.
