Rams fans dont travel well, but we were very loud which I saw Fornette, and a couple of the defensive guys appreciating it during the game.

Lets be honest, if Khan stataed the exact opposite and demanded all the players stand during the anthem, those who "boycotted" would still not attend and use the team's past performance as a excuse.

I would not be surprised to see the Jaguars become a target for relocation after playing a Rams team with a huge media market.

This, plus the fee to break the lease is pocket change to Khan.

He really doesn't even need to prove loss revenue over an extended time, he can simply say the team can be more successful in a profitable market.

At this point he is doing the city more of a favor by keeping the team here, if the fan apathy continues, Khan will stop with his investments around the city and begin to sever all ties.

Funny how you want it to be that way to support your ideology, but you have it all wrong. Those who quit supporting the team because the team is bad didn't suddenly pick this week to stop going, they bailed already. This week was the best team in a long time playing a home game with actual implications on the line, and those fans, who stayed through the Pus Era, stayed home. Those who didn't attend this week are the good die hards who have a different reason besides on field performance to boycott. Now you can say it's not about the politics, but the Team, Owner Commish, and League all know better. You don't urinate on your customers and not feel the effects downstream, no matter how much you race baiting lefties hope so.

You do realize fan attendance makes up a fraction of team revenues and profits right ?Organizations depend on corporate sponsorship to help stabilize a team.

That is the precise reason the Jags play a game in London, because Jacksonville doesn’t have a strong corporate sponsorship base. 

Again in reality Khan is doing the city a favor by keeping the team here, he really has no emotional obligations to keeping the Jags here.
