Night City Corsairs

The Night City Corsairs, formerly known as the Sacramento Corsairs, are a professional football team based in Night City.

History
After the Nighthawks were disbanded, the Night City Council tried a different approach and instead bought an already existing team — the Sacramento Corsairs. The owners of the Corsairs were tempted by the promise of unprecedented tax exceptions and agreed to relocate the football team from Sacramento to Night City. Albeit, this only happened in paper as the Corsairs soon-to-be home — the EBM Petrochem Stadium — became engulfed in the Combat Zone of Dogtown. As such, the Corsairs kept playing in Sacramento. This caused many Night Citizens to not think of them as their local team.

In July 15 of 2069, the NC Corsairs' official fanpage was created. At some point later, the fanpage petitioned the Night City administration to reclaim the EBM Petrochem Stadium for the Corsairs as they did not like to go to Sacramento to see their local team play.

In 2077, Night Corp sponsored the Corsairs with exclusive equipment developed by Night Corp's Football Science Lab, which included top-tier cyberware. That same year, the NC Corsairs won against the San Diego Shredders in a local match with a final score of 30-13. Nine players were injured and seven had to be carried off the stadium by Trauma Team. The Shredders accused the Corsairs of using military-grade cyberware, which they refuted, stating there were no rules on how advanced the tech could be, and urging their rivals to upgrade their cyberware as well.
