Almost all of the Jaguar home games were blacked out last year. Been talk of them moving because of it. But realistically, one has to wonder if another city (like LA) will want a losing team. Instead of looking at their internal personnel problems and adjusting accordingly, they threaten to move the team in order to coerce more fans to buy tickets.

Times are hard. If I had money to spare, I’d probably go to a few games, win or lose, but I don’t have the money to spare...So.. screw em. It’s almost like extortion...lol.

Usually such threats are made to coerce the local and state government to pay for a new playground for the team. I wish more of these cities would let these welfare queens make good on their threats and leave. By definition any entity that requires taxpayer support is a drag on the economy and the local area is better off without it.

I went to one Jag game in 2006 and remember it was $5.00 for a bottle of H2O and $9.00 for a beer. The football also sucked. Never again.
