Professional sports teams also tend to have zero players from their hometowns. Even the White players are mercenaries playing with loyalty only to the highest bidder (or are locked into indentured servitude at relatively low wages for the first years of their careers).

There's the longstanding pejorative that pro sports is simply "cheering for laundry".

The players rarely live in the city's they represent and often flee the very second their season end's and their contractual obligations are over.

It's an absolute dystopian model for "winning", nation building, cultural preservation, etc.
