There are counter examples as well. The New York Yankees? The Dallas Cowboys? Toronto Maple Leafs? Take away the sports franchises from those cities and it would definitely be a huge economic and cultural hit to those cities.

The Yankees could disappear over night and 90% of the city wouldn't notice or care. NYC is too big to have any 1 thing actually affect it much.
