I've seen the argument that the Eisbären have "tradition" so they'd be less likely to suffer the same fate and I hope that's true.
Berlin has a handball team in the first league too btw (Füchse)! AND a succesful volleyball first league team (BR Volleys). I feel like they have to be successful at sports because they're the capital lol.
Hamburg used to be big in sports too, and not only football, which makes it a bit sadder because not only did they lose their hockey club, their first league handball club (HSV Handball) went bankrupt this year too and was dissolved. And apparently their women's volleyball team lost a sponsor and had to be relegated because of that (from the first league to the second league). (I know too much about German sports apparently, lol.)
It's all about money anyway, so I wish at least the people that had the money in this case would try to be decent people. Fingers crossed for Berlin in the long run now, they have my favourite team name after all (well, 2nd because I'm partial to my team). :D
