playing their home games outside of the city in their name

 There are currently ten NFL teams playing their home games outside of the city in their name.

  1. The Los Angeles Rams and Chargers play in Inglewood, CA.
  2. The New York Giants and Jets play in East Rutherford, NJ.
  3. The San Francisco 49ers play in Santa Clara, CA.
  4. The Las Vegas Raiders play in Paradise, NV. (Fun fact, the Las Vegas Strip is not in Las Vegas, but in a pair of unincorporated towns called Paradise and Winchester.)
  5. The Dallas Cowboys play in Arlington, TX.
  6. The Washington Football Team plays in Landover, MD.
  7. The Miami Dolphins play in Miami Gardens, FL.
  8. The Buffalo Bills play in Orchard Park, NY

There are also six teams who have a state or region in their name instead of the city. That means there are 16 NFL teams playing their home games in the city in their name.

had the dodgers stayed

 Here's some material for the argument that moving to LA wouldn't have been any more profitable than staying in New York City. LA Dodgers are valued now at $4 billion, 2nd place of all teams. But historic teams Red Sox and the Cubs are also around 4 billion. In 6th place is the Mets at 2.5 billion. So I see no reason that the Dodgers had they stayed in a city of 8 million couldn't be 4 billion too when Chicago with 2.5 million and another team are worth 4. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2022/03/24/baseballs-most-valuable-teams-2022-yankees-hit-6-billion-as-new-cba-creates-new-revenue-streams/?sh=7e2e4b33600a

Requirement to live in EY?

RZs never shut up about this and each time they spin their yarn they act is if they are revealing the most profound truths that all ignorant people miss. The Ramban himself didn't move to EY until the last 2 years of his life. You can argue that it was easier to live in EY then. The country wasn't under the power of heretics. It wasn't populated by screaming lunatics who have no derech eretz. Dwellings didn't go for 3 million shekels or 40 years of income. There was no compulsory draft into the brainwashing abuse machine that some insist on calling the IDF. Was Persia building a nuclear bomb in the Ramban's day? Would the Ramban ever have moved to such a country? I tend to doubt it. Isn't it ironic that the book that RZ ideologues wave around to argue with Reb Moshe, asserting that EY is safe now, was written by a man who was killed by terrorists? And how about the whole issue of ascending like a wall and rebelling against the nations, you know, the 3 oaths. If everybody moves to EY, isn't that ascending like a wall? Isn't joining a military that has had conflict for 70 straight years taking the land by force? They think this is a simple subject and just can't imagine why most people ignore them. That's because the RZ ideologues are simpletons. They don't care about derech eretz. They don't care about mental health. They aren't bothered by the giva that dominates Israeli society because they themselves are so arrogant. They want to have a country like the nations do. That's all. It's one big egofest.
