    If they moved, I'm not sure I'd still be fan.

    I was an Oilers fan, but all of my family lives in Clarksville. They were so excited when they moved and I was a kid. So I got excited with them.

    That and Steve McNair was my hero.

    Yeah Atlanta sports is something I can't get behind. Saints would be fun.

    What?! OK so where does this land on the fan meter?

    If fake fans are those who give up on a team until they are good. What kind of fan gives up on their team if they move? Shouldn't you be a fan regardless of location?

    Even if the franchise moved to London and changed their name to the London Lollipoppers?

    I live in Texas, I was a young kid. They moved to a place I was familiar with cause I visited Tennessee frequently, add that with the fact all of my favorite players in the NFL were on the Titans. (McNair, George, Bishop, Robertson)

    Now I'm older, I find myself just enjoying football in general, doing fantasy.

    Nobody on the Titans roster right now is my favorite player, I actually find pretty everyone on the team boring to watch, with a couple of exceptions.

    So if they moved, I would probably just be a casual football fan and not really have a favorite team.

    what? I became a Titans fan because of their move to Nashville and them being my local team (also McNair being such a boss). If a team moved, could you blame fans for not following them? How many people in Seattle are Thunder fans? Probably not many.

    Think most hate the Thunder.

    Imagine if your squad left and then drafted the next Michael Jordan. I'd be bitter as hell.

    There aren't even any likeable enough players to keep me interested.

    I don't even see how expansion is an option for the league.

    Doubt the owners would want to divide their piece of the pie with two more teams.

    Also the talent base is can only stretch so far. There are a handful of elite coaches and QBs in the league and everyone else is pretty much fighting for scraps.

    Unlike soccer, baseball, hockey and basketball, football is uniquely American. The only players the NFL gets are the ones colleges produce.

    The drop off between the top tier teams and the bottom feeders like us is already pretty significant. Why stretch it further?


    So, if LA, London or whoever is to get a team...somebody is moving.
