I was just about to write this. How quickly fans forget how Mike strong armed the politicians, the city, the county and the fans. He didn't just 'threaten' to move to Baltimore, he actually met with their officials on a couple different occasions prior to the PBS deal getting agreed on. It's not like he stayed out of loyalty to the fans, or the city. He stayed because he got one of the most lopsided stadium deals in history. If that hadn't of happened, we'd probably be talking about the Baltimore Bengals.
To the OP's point, it is great that we still have our football team, but it's Hamilton county and the taxpayers that deserve the credit. They deserve a huge thank you!
