Green Bay absolutely "deserves" an NFL franchise. Fan support, loyalty, these are all vital aspects of where franchises "should" be.

I agree, the point is that this is about a business, not a community outreach program. Businesses don't go to cities that "deserve" them, they go to cities that owners determine are worth owning them in.
Calgary doesn't "deserve" the Flames. Calgary is just fortunate that there is a group of people who recognize that the market is a viable place to own a hockey team. If someone thinks the same thing about Phoenix they "deserve" the team to the same degree.
