Because they love football. Not everyone identifies so strictly to the city they live in. I live in Toronto and love it, yet root for the Ti-Cats. Hamilton for me is a better football city, with football fans, a better stadium for football, and a better football team.
I doubt people passionate about football in Halifax are going to boycott just because the team isn't within city limits. Of course they'd prefer the team to be Halifax based, but in the end football comes first.
I doubt people in Boston would boycott the Patriots if they moved to Rhode Island, Connecticut, or New Hampshire. Devotion is to the team.
