Look, if he wanted to move the team what would it buy him to constantly reaffirm that he's committed to Jacksonville, to developing Jacksonville, and investing in Jacksonville? He could just as easily do none of the above and move the team sooner rather than later if that was his intention.

It's about a lousy owner making a giant, up-staging cannon ball splash on a day reserved to celebrate the arrival of future NFL stars. The NFL brand is so wrapped up in business catchphrases and appearing to look smart it can't help, but to reveal it has no idea whatsoever what NFL football is all about.

Obviously, Khan believes putting an NFL franchise in Jacksonville is a big mistake. He's acting like a twelve year old little girl with emotional disabilities peeling paint off the living room walls. He can't move the Jaguars so he slips his fingernails into the sheet rock and peels back a little more and a little more.

Khan can buy the stadium the Jaguars are playing in right now and have revenue stream coming out of his nostrils. Instead he howls any chance he gets about Jacksonville and tries to impress people with big boats and stuff. What we end up with is lots and lots of alienated citizens of Jacksonville and a harbor full of one yacht that sticks out like a U.S.N. destroyer in a bath tub.

Khan plays average NFL fans perfectly. His antics are NOT about revenue streams, they're about a will-nilly owner pleading his case for moving the Jaguars out of Jacksonville. He knows the timing and he knows if he can continue to send out the same message - Jacksonville is too small of a market for an NFL team - he will gain all the sympathy he needs when he decides to pack up and haul away to London full-time.

What hurts is when NFL fans see the mixed messages coming from Jacksonville. They know that Jacksonville can't compete with Los Angeles or London, England. A few decry our city as unworthy of a franchise, but most have sense of this finely tuned plague being inflicted upon our city for pretty much a decade and want to help.

In the end, everything about Shad Khan is dysfunctional. All the former NFL order and excellence of having arrived at being rewarded an NFL franchise means next to nothing. It's not the NFL schedule, it's whatever Shad Khan wants to do to make more money. It's not the Jacksonville Jaguars at all. Shad Khan himself dubbed the 30th NFL franchise - The London Jaguars based in Jacksonville. Can't deny it. Can't back away from it.

The stadium area has become a obtuse white eyesore. Khan is forcing a development upon us which nobody wants.

The Jacksonville Jaguars jumped the shark many years ago when Weaver sold the team to Anglo-phile, Shad Khan. Most faced the reality of Khan's moving plans back then and now decline to support the team in the interim prior to the NFL exiting town.

Hey people still watch Happy Days and Ed Sullivan episodes on television oblivious to the fact that social engineering knows no limits nor has a reasonable ending.

By the time Khan is done folks here will be so dispirited and morale so low that the Jaguars will leave without anybody even noticing they've finally done it.

For the life of me, I can't imagine what kind of filter you're looking through to see the thing's your seeing. SK has said over and over that his commitment is to Jacksonville, he is investing millions which may turn into billions to transform Jacksonville. He is emotional and forthright in his defense of our city. But people still see a grand conspiracy. You have to live in a very strange world to see Khan as both stupid AND nefarious. But then there are people who will still swear to you that the earth is flat and any evidence to the contrary is a conspiracy by the illuminati to deceive the elect.

The Jags may move one day but it will be because of circumstances beyond Khan's control not because of some evil plan hatched in the late 90s by a group of NFL owners who had no idea what the NFL of 2018 would even look like.
