There are plenty of markets around the US for an NFL franchise. Disrespecting your fan base is one sure way to wind up like our two Baseball teams that wound up becoming the Minnesota Twins, and the Texas Rangers respectively. The City was 33 yrs. waiting for the return of Baseball and that was only after a tug of war.

One would not think ordinarily that public opinion would in any way sway an owner's decision as to who to hire for a particular position, but in this case I feel it did. While Zorn's hire may not be popular with some, there are others who feel it was both good and right.
