OK well let's look at this "realistically" then.
We have established that the NSFL and NFL exist in the same universe. So ... here is a list of current franchises that wouldn't exist because there are already NFL (and sometimes other major sports league) teams too close by, thereby diluting the market far too much:
Arizona Outlaws
Baltimore Hawks
Colorado Yeti
Philadelphia Liberty
New Orleans Second Line
Chicago Butchers
Minnesota Grey Ducks
Kansas City Coyotes (an assumption on location is being made here, tbf)
Dallas Birddogs
Also, franchises that probably wouldn't exist because of other major, non-NFL teams nearby:
San Jose Sabercats (Earthquake, Padres)
Portland Pythons (Trail Blazers, Timbers, Thorns; again, assuming location)
aaaand franchises that wouldn't exist for varying reasons:
London Royals (I really shouldn't have to explain why)
Yellowknife Wraiths (tiny population)
Myrtle Beach Buccaneers (tiny population)
...so the vast majority of teams here are "unrealistic", no?
