Having a team isn't a necessity for a city, frankly the land proposed for a stadium in Oakland could be better used for mixed-use development and parkland.
An arrangement like the one between the Timbers and the city for the Providence Park expansion is the worst I'd support. Such a deal wouldn't put the city at risk for a sport that has seen it's attendance slipping in the 21st century. The state's existing funding mechanism could be used for infrastructure costs.
