You won't have a team in 5 years. Then you all can make excuses for why it isn't your cities fault they left regarless of the fact ticket sales have been an issue most years 1998. Yes, I said 1998 because that's when season ticket sales started lagging and people were taking notice to sections of empty seats in the stadium. In 1999when the team went 14-2 there were I believe 2 games that narrowly averted being blackout. And do I really need to mention the last decade?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-31735459507159600072010-08-18T15:58:11.656-04:002010-08-18T15:58:11.656-04:00More off topic.

When confronted with the facts (the "true facts") they become more convinced (in certain subgroups) in the validity of their error. It seems very consistent with what we saw for months in the EC case.<br /><br />Here is a related link to a blog: http://watchingthedeniers.wordpress.com/2010/07/28/when-facts-fail-study-notes-that-facts-can-reinforce-false-beliefs/ <br /><br />And this is the link to the report of the study: http://www.springerlink.com/content/064786861r21m257/fulltext.html<br /><br />I'm going to leave these around at a few of the blogs that were involved in the EC discussion.Bennett Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200940136846753450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-81893908877067477892010-08-18T15:32:51.947-04:002010-08-18T15:32:51.947-04:00Off Topic:

If it was ...Who paid for the stadium they play in?<br /><br />If it was the citizens they why do they have to pay for tickets? And why do they pay players so much and get a building for free?<br /><br />Some of us are not impressed and do not worship sports. <br /><br />It is all about idolatry.

And the BS about not being able to use the money in the general fund. That is the oldest argument in the political book. Just legally move monies from special accounts to cover general fund needs, like libraries, police, firemen, etc. and use the 4.1 million Jag dollars to replenish the special accounts. Give me a break Mr. Littlepage. How absurdly stupid do you consider the voters of Jacksonville? It ain't rocket science, but it is accounting practice which can be made legal and goes on every day. It just may take a few visits with the city attorney.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-14598624909491945792010-08-17T14:43:41.566-04:002010-08-17T14:43:41.566-04:00If the team can't make it on their own then le...If the team can't make it on their own then let them leave and the sooner the better...no one wants a loser and especially when the tax payer is putting up the money!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-54960186483400525852010-08-17T13:25:21.003-04:002010-08-17T13:25:21.003-04:00Professional sports is like professional religion;...Professional sports is like professional religion; they attempt to make us believe that we are nothing without them.<br /><br />I wouldn't "let them go elsewhere", I'd say "get the heck outta here".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
