1) You didn't understand a word. A town that PAYS a ransom to get or keep an NFL team is a cow town. Not the city that refuses to pay the ransom. Had the Pats moved to St Louis, Boston would not have been any worse than LA which hasn't had a team for two decades. Not having an NFL team does not make a city a cow town. PAYING a huge ransom for one while your city flounders DOES.
fair enough
You have your view and I have mine.
Mine is that a city that won't provide a team incentives or tax breaks doesn't deserve a team.
Either they are lucky enough to have billionaire want to come, even if without the support of the community.
Of their market is so big and profitable that it cannot be resisted.
Teams shouldn't come to communities that don't want them.
