City fights to keep Gotham Goliaths from leaving

British industrialist Sir Walter Randolph Jones' threat to move the Gotham Goliaths football team to Maryland has set off a legal dustup. Mayor Garcia has issued a counterthreat, saying that Jones will be sued for breach of contract if he makes any step to take the Goliaths away from Gotham. Jones was showered with tax benefits and millions of dollars of city-sponsored upgrades to Gotham Stadium when he brought the Goliaths back to the city. But Jones says falling attendance at home games and Gotham's growing reputation as a crime-ridden city veering on the edge of anarchy and mayhem has made staying in the city "simply untenable." Many observers feeling that Jones is simply angling for more tax concessions from a city that can't afford to lose one of its last tourist attractions.
