If Real Madrid moved it would cause a crazy uprising from the fans and they would lose some, but I bet they would gain a ton in their new city. When it comes to sports, winning is what matters. If the team is winning, most everything is forgiven.

According to
https://www.nfl.com/teams there are only 32 NFL teams, so for a country that big (USA) one of them moving would mean almost the same as for a FC Barcelona or Manchester United to move to a different country in EU
Of course they are still buying/selling players.
I'm just saying that if I would be born and raised in Barcelona and would cheer for FC Barcelona my whole life (and I would also see they play live every 2 weeks) I would be pretty pissed if they would move to Milan or Berlin
