American sports teams love to move house—they always have, and it's something almost wholly unique to the country's sports leagues. Colin wants to know why, and Shane is here to once again hurt his brain with the explanation.

A little chat about the hurricane that ravaged Florida on Wednesday and why a very smart man whose ideas have been proven absolutely terrible around the world is now ravaging the economy of the United Kingdom before Shane lays out a century-plus of American sports teams moving wherever whenever for whatever reason. (The reason is always money.)

Read more about Arthur Laffer and his bad economic ideas.

Out of interest, Third Lanark moved a few times before Cathkin Park. I've never really understood the non-place based approach to teams in the US. This helped my understanding but it still seems pretty pish. I suppose Rangers have a Scottish profile rather than a Govan one though. We could move to another league and still take our fans....which is maybe an idea...😂

Good to feel sorry for Colin McMillian who would have us believe that "America is the greatest country in the world" spiel ripped to pieces

Thanks Shane & Colin. Enjoyed that, good subject to learn about. Just such a different situation from the one we know. eg, I'm thinking St Louis, NFL. You're a Cardinals fan, grown up hating the LA Rams (is always one team you have an inexplicable dislike for!) for years. But then your team go to the desert and the fancy dans from LaLaLand you've hated all your life show up and that's who you're left to go and watch!!! Your 'own' team get to come back and beat up on you & your 'foster' team now & then (who you really supporting?) and THEN your foster team up and leave you with nothing!! Mental !! 🤪
