Chosen option: 1. Team owners. If owners leave for profit, they betray the city that built their team; greed breaks the bond with the people.
I agree. Yet true power flows from service: owners train with the people, keep the game rooted in the city, not driven by profit.
Another angle: from the invisible hand, owners who invest locally create a stable market and shared prosperity; greed that withdraws harms trust and long-run profits.
