In a surprise move the commissioners office approved the sale of the Black Lightning to AES out of Wichita, KS. The club was promptly relocated and moved to the state of Kansas, where division rival Kansas City Black and Blue Brachiosaurus are also located.
In a press release earlier today GM zhawks stated "We are happy to be moving to a great city, but sad to leave one as well."
The team did not say openly why the move took place, although a club insider, who asked to remain anonymous, did say "The city was restless after having very little success and past ownership, the Philadelphia Inquirer , was having trouble meeting financial obligations after dealing out huge contracts the past few seasons."
The Franchise won 489 games and five division titles in five seasons in Philly.
Stay tuned as more from this story develops.
