A league that's contracting teams is not a league that you're going to see broadcasters and advertisers looking to work worth, the red flags are just too scary to risk it.
I'd expect that if it came right down to it the league would either operate the team in Atlanta as they did in Phoenix, or they'd make the move to KC and waive any issues with AEG having interests in two markets.

yes .... Atlanta and Phoenix is driving the massive television contracts if they actually existed. They have just so much potential.
The good TV contracts in Canada, NY, Boston and Philly are 100% focussed on their local markets... This actually improves without Atlanta and Phoenix being broadcast 4 times a year.
