Honestly, I'd take one of those teams put them in Utah, Oregon, or Oklahoma City.

I wouldn't mind if the league contracted & went back to 6 divisions. Jacksonville & Buffalo would not be missed all that much.

A stadium filled with Samoans is not an event I'd want to attend. I used to go to University of Hawaii games a lot and without fail the Samoans/Hawaiians started brawls; not just in the stands but in the parking lot as well. It was really rough.

whoa! we've had a few problems like other stadiums or populations, but it isn't "without fail".

Aloha stadium isn't filled with Samoans and Hawaiians, we're pretty diverse ethnically.

i'm ok with contraction too, just don't expand. expansion isn't the topic at hand, so just saying. :-)

That is pretty messed up. Jacksonville I can see because they are a newer team. Buffalo has been around so they should stay. They aren't hurting for attendance. The team sucks but that is about it.

The Raiders should move to LA. They suit LA.

Bills should move to Toronto.

Move Jacksonville or Tampa to Orlando.

Spot on this right here. I know way more fans of other teams the actual cardinal fans. Cards have a lot of bandwagon or "home team" fans in the sense they like other teams but like the cards when they play or are doing good. I feel bad for die hard cards fans sometimes lol

But yea Clyde I have wondered the same about 3 Florida teams. Very odd

I question their existence. Why would anybody subject themselves to rooting for a perennial loser?

I lived there for several years and it was the "locals" who caused all the trouble. I'll amend it to say "almost" without fail. Their anger brought on by their intentional ignorance remains the biggest problem Hawaii faces.

Move Jacksonville or Tampa to Orlando.

Population
Jacksonville - 800K
Tampa - 350K
Orlando - 260K

Also, forcing someone to move to Canada is just plain Evil, even if they do live in Buffalo...

Having a team in Oklahoma City would be pretty cool, that is much closer than Kansas City Missouri.

ok, fair enough, can't say we're totally innocent here. yes, Honolulu is similar to other large cities on the mainland, including large city problems. but don't feel we're any worse either?

mind you, this doesn't stereotype Hawaii outside of Honolulu.

sorry, don't get "Their anger brought on by their intentional ignorance remains the biggest problem Hawaii faces"?

Native Hawaiians, for the most part remain seperate, don't educate themselves, live in poverty and refuse to speak English except the "pidgin:" stuff. Then they wonder why they live in poverty and why no one will hire them. They blame the Asians and the mainland Americans for coming and "stealing" their land. You've heard of Ka Lahui I presume?

Oh no, don't get me wrong, I love Hawaii and the laid back island lifestyle. We loved the whole "Island Time" mentality but I was extremely disappointed in the native Hawaiian culture. I thought it would be really fun to be a part of. I did not realize how hated I, and those like me,were by the natives. And to watch them just accept poverty and ignorance without trying to rise above it was very discouraging to see.

I noticed that as well when I was there. Reminds me of how San Francisco has become. There is something very exotic and enticing about those Asian girls; so pretty.

Jacksonville should be moved to Oklahoma City or somewhere they can fill the stadium.

They should put a team in San Antonio. Such a wonderful, culturally diverse city. Football crazy too.

That would work, and they could still play in the AFC South.

As a Supersonics fan, I will just say Fuck Oklahoma City. Let's see how they support their teams without new team euphoria or in thin times. They do not deserve the opportunity to r*pe some other city and steal public trusts.
