Yes, but those teams all moved for business reasons. We don't have that particular "limitation" in the FWL, any more than we have the limitation of "A football league that operates teams in Austria and Mexico could never be profitable!" So I think we should, first and foremost, do what's best for _our_ league. The argument then becomes "Okay, what's best for our league?" and I think that having our own identity and our own traditions is best for our league, rather than renaming teams because the NFLE can't make them work.

Frankly, I think if the real World League/NFLE had storylines as interesting as we've had in our league, they'd be in much better shape. :)

Eh. I don't see why the word "fantasy" has to belong strictly to the stats-based leagues.
