Confusing if you think about it.

Not the same sport, but I know in Winnipeg the Thrashers' franchise is basically considered a technicality. It's the original Jets that get precedence. Yeah Kovalchuk holds a pile of franchise records, but it's the "Winnipeg NHL record" that matters in the eyes of most fans except for a handful of pedantic hockey nerds.
Maybe it's different in Washington given how much time has passed since the original Senators.

Don't forget Korea and Taiwan! I only know this from seeing snippets games on TV while staying at hotels in Asia.
