Quote:I said to a few guys at work that about 5 years ago we were supposedly the lead candidate per the mainstream media to move to LA, and here we are....2 teams in LA and another headed to Vegas and we're still sitting in Jacksonville.

 

It says a lot about the fans continuing to go to games and watching football that hasn't been exactly up to par.  When this team becomes good again (and who knows when that will be)  this city will be electric and a lot of fun.

 

Years ago I read an excellent article from the LA Times that laid out in detail why the Jaguars would not be leaving Jacksonville. It is the only publication I've ever read that wrote about the story without bias and used factual data to support the story. I was shocked that it came from a paper in a town that would eventually house someone else team. Coincidentally I believe its one of the only papers that reported the actual polls data from the election while all other media outlets were reporting mass leads for Hilary Clinton. Looking back on it now, it just confirms that media was wishing and hoping it was Jacksonville and reporting with complete bias. If they would have reported early on that San Diego and St.Louis were legitimate candidates to relocate maybe those respective city's would've had a little more urgency. In fact all it did was help Jaguars fans and the city of Jacksonville fully commit to the Jaguars staying in Jacksonville.
