Not sure why everyone thinks Nashville is such a slam dunk. This is not a great time to be trying to cut into the Braves fanbase, which is exactly what a Nashville team would be doing. It's a very transient city with a lot to do and a lot of transplants who already have favorite teams. If they get a baseball team and that team isn't awesome immediately out of the gate, I think they'll struggle more than others seem to.
Good post.
People on here(looking at you WCA) don't realize how big of a footprint that the Braves have. It basically goes from the Mississippi River to southern/eastern Kentucky & Southern W.Virginia.

The Braves' fanbase wouldn't hurt a Nashville or Charlotte expansion team.
The Braves are the dominant fan base, but there are plenty of transplants that aren't Braves fans. They will go enjoy games, even if plenty are rooting for the away team at first.
It takes most expansion teams a while (or forever for the Rays) to establish their own fans.
