Moving game(s) to London has done NOTHING to help Jacksonville. In fact, stealing home games away from Jacksonville robs Jacksonville of positive economic impact. Such positive impact was ALWAYS the FULL expectation of ANY potential NFL franchise owner. An NFL owner in Jacksonville MUST acknowledge he is part of a business deal - the same kind of economic boon OTHER NFL cities don't seem to have a problem sustaining without sacrificing most of their downtown real estate.

Is there ANYBODY in town that doubts the sustained GROWTH Jacksonville has made since 1995? Jacksonville is NOW ---- THE 12th largest city in the United States of America. How on earth can we still be considered to be the lowest television market?

The present Jacksonville Jaguars owner would be much wiser to buy 700,000 flat screen televisions and distribute them around town. 

Obviously, telling Jacksonville citizens to ditch their televisions relates to driving television market share DOWN DOWN DOWN.

London Jaguars is just a step or two away.

As per usual. Statistics are being twisted. 

Jacksonville is the 12th largest “city” because it’s a consolidated city county. However it’s total market is therefore not as big as you would be led to believe due to  the overall metropolitan area being smaller because of said consolidation. 

Tampa, while only having a few hundred thousand people in city limits (small compared to Jax) it’s overall market is quite larger because of surrounding suburbs, cities, etc. for example, there’s thousands of people in Brandon, which is ten minutes from downtown on a good day, and even colloquially referred to as Tampa, but is technically not counted as Tampa city population. 

Stop your rambling. It’s almost comical at this point
