I personally think Nenshi would rather see the team leave either way, just to say he won the battle against the billionaires, and have great material for a book about how the little mayor slayed the big beast. I really have never got the feeling the guy even gives a flying F about the team or the game.
It's one thing to gently oppose it, and maybe throw out viable suggestions. It's another thing to publicly poke the bear, draw a hard line in the sand, and insult the team owners and league governers.
