| − | Following the [[Hellmouth Cup]] championship victory by the [[Sacramento Boot Lickers]] over the [[Long Beach Flightless Birds]] in [[Season 4]], the Boot Lickers fan base celebrated after the game in downtown Sacramento. The celebrations attracted large crowds, and in the midst of the festivities several vehicles were immolated by fans attempting to channel the Spirit of the Primal Fire (the Major Arcana of the Boot Lickers' [[Cali Crown]] rivalry with the [[San Francisco Boat Shoes]]).

Distressed at the thought of inconveniencing fellow Sacramentans, all 12,000 members of the Sacramento Boot Lickers piled onto the team bus and drove to downtown Sacramento, where they scoured the streets looking for damaged or burned vehicles and leaving business cards with contact information and apologies for causing the damage, apologies which were compact enough to fit on a business card but were long enough to be legally binding in a court of law.

Then, on Day 29, the Boot Lickers turned on the gas, racking up enough wins to overtake the [[Atlanta Glitter Sharks]] and [[Orlando Business Majors]] for the Hot Water division title. Sacramento's come-from-behind win fired up the fan base and gathered interest in the team, as more Sacramentans began to tune in for the playoffs.

The Sacramento Boot Lickers Bankruptcy was an incident that occurred after the Season 4 Hellmouth Cup championship game, which the 
Sacramento Boot Lickers
won against the 
Long Beach Flightless Birds
.
At the end of the previous season, Sacramento Boot Lickers fans watched with dismay as their bitter rivals, the 
San Francisco Boat Shoes
, skated through the playoffs and claimed victory in a questionable Hellmouth Cup victory that was later tainted by scandal and litigation. As the Season 4 postseason approached, the Boot Lickers fan base was hungry for a postseason run, and the Boat Shoes were out of postseason contention, setting the stage.
The Boot Lickers finished the season in first place, beat the 
Atlanta Glitter Sharks
and 
Detroit Grape Chews
to clinch the Hot League pennant, and finished off the Long Beach Flightless Birds
in the Hellmouth Cup.
Following their Season 4 Hellmouth Cup championship victory, the Sacramento Boot Lickers
fan base celebrated in downtown Sacramento. During the celebration, several vehicles caught fire and were immolated. The scene that unfolded was an attempt by Boot Lickers fans to channel the Spirit of the Primal Fire and set the stage for the Final Judgement, which, sadly for Boot Lickers fans, did not occur.
In addition to vehicles being immolated, a single small group of individuals managed to topple a radio tower, which, being quite tall, caused extensive property damage to houses and buildings for several blocks.
Word of the destruction soon reached the Boot Lickers' clubhouse. Distressed at the thought of inconveniencing fellow Sacramentonians, all 120,000 members of the Sacramento Boot Lickers piled onto the team bus and drove to downtown Sacramento, where they scoured the streets looking for damaged property or burned vehicles, and left business cards with contact information and apologies for causing the damage.
The resulting flurry of legal suits and insurance claims against the team following these events buried the Sacramento Boot Lickers in legal costs. Their finances were completely wiped out, and one week after winning the Hellmouth Cup champion title, the Boot Lickers declared bankruptcy and began "reorganizing".
