So the
@JordanSigler of the Jaguars says it's stupid with very little evidence. Yes, Khan has put a lot of money into the stadium but who knows what he will receive from Lightfoot when he is holding her political career for ransom?
As him saying multiple times that the team is not going to move. How many times have front offices or owners lied before, saying one thing and then doing the complete opposite?
Haugh only said that the chances of the Jags moving to Chicago has increased a lot the past 4 weeks. Well, that is obvious. If, going back 4 weeks, the Bears had a zero chance of leaving Chicago, then it would raise the opportunity of another team moving into Chicago to maybe 1% which is a huge increase from zero. Haugh never said that the chance of the Jaguars moving to Chicago was a coin flip call.
As for the Jaguars, this was some years ago, but I seem to recall that the Jaguars have a problem in getting fans to go to the games. It is a Florida fan base which means that most people have other things to do and are fair weather fans at best. Moving to Chicago would add a rabid fan base, some of which would cry into their beers as they move their allegiance to the new team, giving them the actual chance of watching games live inside Soldiers Field. They could even force the city to agree to a new stadium to be built by the city in 7 to 10 years from their move or Khan could build it himself.
Now I am not saying that this is a done deal, far from it, but has a much better chance of it had of happening 4 months ago.
Besides, what kind of lazy reporter talks about all of those reasons online for it not to happen? A real reporter would add some substance into the report, even if it is somewhat weak. Alfie just seems to be lazy.
