To be fair sir... there are sacred cows in the U.K. as well. If you are not familiar with the story of how FC Wimbledon became the Milton Keynes (MK) Dons... and how AFC Wimbledon rose up out of those ashes... it is worth a look.
The US franchise model simply is an alien concept this side of the Atlantic, moving a team from one part of the country to another and changing their name does not wash. The entity that became MK Dons returned the FA Cup win and all their records to the newly reformed afc Wimbledon and quite rightly so.
