Pretty much any city that doesn't have an NFL team would welcome one with open arms.  I mean, crappy teams are typically the ones that move.

I would love to see people come up with a real way to hurt the Brown family where it really would cause them distress, ie the wallet.  Maybe if a campaign to keep attendance below 10,000 spread quickly and people committed to it, it would get the attention of the powers that be at the league office.  5000 would be great.  That's lost money for someone.  It has to be.  

Would the league move the team if the Browns were forced to sell?  Likely, I'd say.  Like the song says, I've gone past the point of caring when it pertains to them staying or going.  They aren't a real NFL organization anymore.  They're a mockery.  The only benefit they provide is to fans of other teams living in Cincinnati that get to see their teams beat the shit out of the Bengals when they come to town.

It's all a very unfortunate situation, but the bottom line is that the family is a stinking collection of lizard shit.  I'd love nothing more than to see the league liberate them of their 274,000 per year profit sharing check and access to family jobs.  Rip the old man's name from the front of the building and celebrate while it implodes with the rest of the mess.  Make Mike Brown cry while he watches it happen for the second time in his life.  It would be cathartic.

Do you think they enjoy seeing the league cut him checks for doing as little as possibly while they bust their tails to generate profit?  Do you think any of them wouldn't like to make more money?

Fact is, the NFL is a competitive business.  If Mike is a weak owner with an uncompetitive franchise, that just makes the job easier for the other 31 owners.  If the Bengals lose fans, that means other teams have the chance to scoop up those fans and gain those merchandise dollars.  It means more wins and less competition for playoff spots.  You think the commissioner's puppet master, Dan Rooney, really wants Mike forced out or forced to change?  Can you really look at all the officiating screwjobs when we actually had good teams and say the league wants the Bengals to be successful?  Plus, no owner wants to set the precedent that the league can force a sale based on the team being uncompetitive because that precedent could eventually be used against them.  

All boycotts and the acrimonious relationship with the the county do is make the Cincinnati market less appealing for the Bengals to stay in and less appealing for another owner to move a team or place an expansion team there.  That's just reality.  Mike isn't going to change and the league isn't going to step in.  If you think either will happen based on fan action, you're fooling yourself.  I don't blame anyone for not going to see an 0-9 team, but if you're not going because you have some fantasy land delusion where the NFL is going to force Mikey to sell to some new owner that's going to turn the club into the new Patriots, you're fooling yourself.
