Should a team name remain with the city?

Three NFL teams have decided to move in the last 14 months. The St. Louis Rams moved to Los Angeles last season, the San Diego Chargers are moving to Los Angeles this season and the Oakland Raiders are moving to Las Vegas in 2019.

When Art Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore, the name appropriately stayed with the city of Cleveland. Similarly, when the Houston Oilers moved to Tennessee, the football team changed its name to the Tennessee Titans.

However, the Raiders will take their name to Las Vegas. The Raiders name should stay in Oakland and it should have stayed in Oakland when the team moved to Los Angeles in the 1980s.
