Daily reminder that championships belong to cities, not to franchises. If a team relocates, then that team dies, and their history stays in the city, then a new team is founded in the new city.

Therefore:
- LA have 11 NBA championships from the Lakers' 16. 5 of those belong to Minneapolis
- Oklahoma City have 0 NBA championships, it belongs to Seattle
- San Francisco/Oakland/Golden State have 2 NBA championships, the other 2 belong to Philadelphia
- Philly remain on 3 NBA championships, since one the 76ers won was in Syracuse, who gain a title
- Atlanta have 0 NBA championships, it belongs to St. Louis

- Indianapolis have 1 superb owl, Baltimore have 3
- The Raiders' owls are shared; 2 for Oakland, 1 for LA

+ more I don't know

The only exception to championships belonging to cities is when two franchises share a city. So the New York Jets and New York Giants for example are separate, so are the LA Rams and LA Raiders.

All Colts championships belong to Dallas, as the franchise began in the fifties as the Dallas Texans before going bankrupt and moving to Baltimore.

So by your logic, if the Arizona Cardinals win the Super Bowl this year, it belongs to Racine, Wisconsin, since that's where the franchise originated?

Bullshit.

>>64643649

He clearly isn't saying that though. He means whatever city they were in when they won the trophy is the city it belongs to.
>>
>>64643649
You didn't follow the logic. It's not about where the team started. It's where the team was when it won. The Colts starting Dallas is completely irrelevant. Dallas didn't win those titles.

Baltimore don't claim the Colts championship from 2006.

So, are you a Celtics fan or salty about the colts?
>>
>>64643521
But that's wrong. The franchise owns the titles not the city. Only cites like Baltimore pitch bitchfits and claim that they keep the titles. You don't see LA claiming the Raiders titles.
>>
>>64644876
It also helps though having Colts wanting absolutely nothing to do with the Baltimore Colts Super Bowl
>>
>The team wins the championship
>The city simply has that teams stadium located in it
>Most of these championships are won in a neutral location

By your shitty logic the host city of the championship should have those titles

>>64645185
All those San Diego and Arizona owls. Try and keep up rest of the nfl.

Knew someone would ask this. I'm not United Statian and I don't have a team, but I'm learning about the game. It's just fucking stupid and causes shit like this >>64644876

>>64645049
If they want nothing to do with it, why don't they just give back their title to Baltimore. Johnny Unitas' nmber is still retired by the Colts, but hated the Indianapolis team.
>>
>>64643551
honestly, this.

also, it's confusing and stupid. i somewhat agree with the op though. to use a european example, i hate how mk dons took wimbledon's history. no. milton keynes is a putrid, made-up club. the reincarnation, afc wimbledon, should have been entitled to the don's history
>>
>>64645685
The Dons actually gave back all the history, trophies, etc. a bit later. For a few years the owner was "blah blah blah we bought it it's ours", then he relented.
t. guy who lived in milton keynes when the Dons came
>>
>>64643551
I can't speak for most people but I would stop following my team if they moved. Especially if it's for a shit reason like taxpayer money not paying for a billionaires new stadium.

Not really, the Dodgers and Giants Baseball teams don't have many New York Fans.
