No, I'm from Columbus. If a US city was nuked the biggest freakin' concern in this area would be "Oh my God! This isn't going to delay Saturday's game, is it?!"
At the 4th of July fireworks in Columbus this year, Hardly anyone stood for the national anthem, but you should have seen the throngs of buckeye morons go nuts when the damn OSU fight song was played twn minutes later.
The problem there isn't the sport. It's the fans. Move to an SEC town.
