The reason is not just my love for the team (although if they left, I doubt I would root for them) but that I feel it provides a great deal to the area. Lots of businesses benefit from a team in the city, as well as the surrounding areas where these players contribute financially and philanthropically.
I get that a lot of people are pounding their collective chests over the city that stood up the rich, tyrant of an owner and that they feel like they are "sticking it to the man", but there will be other cities that would gladly pony up the money for a team and now SD will just be another city that used to have a team....which they never really supported anyway.
Just pointing this out...
There isnt a ton of credible data that actually supports your point that an NFL team helps a city's economy. That notion has been debunked over the years.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy
