Quote:I agree to a point.  

 

I will renew my tickets next year even if Gus is still there (he won't be) not because I proclaim allegiance to the Jaguars.... but because I proclaim allegiance to Jacksonville.   I lived there through all the years we were used by NFL teams looking for a better deal.  I felt the excitement and pride when my home town was granted a franchise and I have seen how far the city has come since the Jags arrived.    I do not want the city to lose the team as we will never get another one.   For that reason alone I will renew my tickets.

I sort of agree with this. You don't owe loyalty to an entertainment entity, as well said by Stich, and I don't fell I owe loyalty to the city - but I don't want the city to lose the team.

 

I enjoy football, and I certainly enjoy seeing the best players in the world, seeing it live and in person. It's fun.

 

Of course it's not great fun seeing your team lose. But if you lived in Jacksonville in the early 90s and were told you'd have the chance to see an NFL game eight (or seven, lol), times a year, here in Jacksonville, you'd have jumped at the chance if you were an NFL fan.

 

And I jumped at the chance (STH since day one) and will continue to do so as long as I'm physically and financially able to do so.
