Team owners: "We're just humble billionaires and we care so much about your state. The team is part of the community... Now subsidize our massively profitable business or we'll move the team."

I'll never understand why fans are die hard loyal to franchises that screw them at every possible opportunity. Insane ticket prices, seat license fees (which are somehow different than tickets?), insane concession prices, ads on everything- it hurts my brain.

Because for many people it is a core part of their identity, without which they wouldn't have much outside of work and sleep

Nailed it. This is especially true with football in the UK. People are literally born and brought up with the expectation of supporting a certain team.
