Haha not a good catch at all. I’ve never heard of the Buffalo Braves. I was saying NY state has 8 teams, and I assumed it was the Sabres you had forgotten. Or it’s possible one of the 8 doesn’t play in NY anymore. I’ve got: Mets, Yankees, Bills, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Islanders, Sabres. 

Ha!  I did totally forget about the Buffalo Sabres!  You're right - there are 8 MLB/NFL/NBA/NHL teams that currently play in the state of New York.   So, NY state has lost 6 teams over the years (w/ 2 of those still playing in the NYC metro), but still have 8 teams playing within the state boundaries.  

....and I'm only counting those 4 sports leagues, of course - not MLS, WNBA, etc.

I assume you mean the Buffalo Braves, not the Sabres, but good catch!  I had to look them up.....they're the LA Clippers now.

The Braves of the NBA moved to San Diego first and then Los Angeles.

You forgot the Syracuse Nationals who moved to Philadelphia and became the 76ers, this was after the Warriors left Philly and moved to San Francisco.

Here's an interesting look at just how much of a sweetheart deal the new stadium deal is for the Chiefs and how bad it sounds for Kansas taxpayers:

 

It looks bad for Kansas taxpayers but still,  the Kansas politicians  feel overall it will benefit the State of Kansas, I find it difficult to believe that Kansas is going to lose money on the deal.

Guessing a lot of casual football fans wouldn’t even think of KC as being outside of Kansas.

From what I've seen most people in KC and Missouri aren't too happy about the Chiefs moving out of state. Even the Missouri politicians  aren't happy about it.  The more I've thought about it the more  I find it amazing that Illinois hasn't approved the Bears  Arlington Heights site. It would be a great thing for the  area. If something doesn't change and Indiana offers the Bears a tremendous deal the  Bears are going to move out of state, The states of Kansas and Indiana view a NFL franchise as an asset. Even tho the  money is putting more money into the NFL billionaire  owners pockets Kansas and Indiana think its worth it in the long run.

 

Fans and politicians will be pissed if they leave, but it’s the very same folks saying don’t give them a dime though the Bears are asking for money for infrastructure around the stadium. 
 

Bears leaving kind of has to happen tbh.

Jerry Reinsdorf likes the cut of your jib.
