A thank you from a UK NFL (Steelers) fan

Quote:Don't mean in terms of a literal threat just the idea of it happening being enough to galvanise the local authorities in Jacksonville into supporting the team there. This gives them some leverage in any negotiations that he needs to make (which is a damn smart move if his intention is to invest in the town since he'll be one of the many people to reap the rewards later).


Ah ok fair enough. However Khan would need to do the opposite to get us to move, we need to be able show a loss for 3 consecutive years to break our lease. So making threats to galvanise our support would hinder his plans.


We're also ranking 21st in terms of avg attendance this year, (Steelers 25th) so moving seems quite unrealistic.


These are statistics that are rarely mentioned on tv because the national reporters that talk about it are incompetent and just like to go along with the bandwagon.


This isn't a dig at you make no mistake, it's just clarifying points with all this talk about us moving which is nonsense you have to appreciate it can be annoying for fans to keep explaining why we won't just because reporters can't be bothered to


Ps: I like the Steelers and sincerely hope you do well, we've had a lot of good games with you and it's always fun to watch.


Thank you for your comments it's nice to see more of the UK fans are enjoying the game and the support yesterday was great just a shame about the performance
