None of this is to the point where the teams would leave of course, but the sports mecca talk is very overdone.
As I mentioned earlier in the thread, Toronto is a "shiny object" sports town. It so happens right now that a number of its teams are "shiny".
We'll see later this year if the Blue Jays for example are still packing them in if they continue to — so badly.

Some are misinterpreting posts. Toronto as a sports mecca hasn't been implied. The Blue Jays and Raptors were — for over a decade. There are few teams that wouldn't see their attendance hit hard.
