He's committed to staying in Jacksonville

Shahid Khan says that and is rather emphatic about not moving the team. But since he's a Pakistani (by birth) with ties to Illinois (his current residence and where he went to college), what stake does he really have in Jacksonville?

As I mentioned a few posts back, I have friends in Jax and I don't see him as the type that can successfully engage with the people in and around that community. Several of the followup comments on the Times-Union website (before evidently getting scrubbed by the mods) in the wake of the news show, shall we say, lukewarm acceptance of the deal.
