And no, I really do not see how people think that New York and Philly are representative of America. Sure, these cities have HUGE populations, but NY, Philly, and LA HARDLY make America what it is today. I kinda like the idea of smaller cities being represented in America's game, especially cities like St. Louis, which are cities that are traditionally markets for the cast farms in the midwest.

It's weird to say these teams represent the cities they are in. In which way do they do that? It's not like they consist of local players. They really are just entertainment options available in different places. Bigger cities having more games isn't that different from bigger cities having more big concerts.

And it's not like the Cardinals would leave St. Louis for New York. They already have a pretty big fan base, and if more teams go into the New York market, the Cardinals might ended up having bigger fan base than the New York teams.
