If I was given the opportunity to create an expansion franchise, I would settle the franchise in my home state of Florida and name the franchise: the Florida Scorchers! I picked the name Scorchers because it serves a few references. The first reference is to directly reference the fact that Florida generally is warm year around (to the point where some may say too warm). The second reference is the fact that to scorch is to burn greatly; I wanted to invoke the feeling that whenever you play against my new franchise, you're going to get "burned" and lose badly no matter the time and place!
I picked Florida as my place for my potential relocation franchise because I believe it would present me with a lot of opportunities in the sports world. What I mean by that is, like other pro sports leagues, Florida is overall a large market with a multitude of sports fans; I believe I can be able to tap into that, albeit highly, competitive market and be able to establish a great team that will endure through the ages due to the favorable location, lack of a state income tax, and recreational activities that help athletes get through the season which in the grand scheme will help attract free agents and generate the revenue needed to support the team!
