I came across a really great story from comments on the new ESPN film "The Band that Wouldn't Die", about the Colts leaving Baltimore:
"I was at the first home opener the Ravens played against Oakland in '96. Before the game, the Marching Colts, with Johnny Unitas out in front, played the Colt fight song one last time. I remember the man next to me in the stands. He looked like he must have worked at Seagirt %u2013 six-four, two fourty, big arms, thick neck %u2013 imposing. He's mouthing the words to the song, tears literally streaming down his cheeks. I still get choked up thinking about it. That was what the Colts, the Marching Colts and football meant to Baltimore."

I don't want to be part of a huge fan base who has to go through that, and never gets a team in replacement. I don't want to have to choose another team.
