I came up with a way of explaining why community pride in regional sports teams makes zero sense to me:

Pro sports are basically deck-building games.

The team is made up of purchased or traded athletes chosen to build the best "deck". None of those athletes originate from the city they play for, they're distributed randomly at the start and then collected once discovered/coveted by team owners (the "players").

Football/basketball/baseball are basically Magic: The Gathering for billionaires.
