A team with a winning record would greatly improve the chances of a spending plan being passed. Jacksonville taxpayers who don’t follow football know only one thing about the Jaguars: they are a perennial bottom feeder which draws derisive laughs and comments anywhere they go. While I believe they are myopic for not seeing how an NFL team brings wealth and notoriety to a city, I can’t blame them for not supporting it because the notoriety they experience is almost all negative. No one in their right mind would invest with a failing business, and that is exactly how they see it.

Winning solves all.
