Hard to come up with a metaphor

The Colts have a fabulous stadium and connecting infrastructure that allows them to host the combine and Super Bowl. And the city has shown they can do damn near anything after hosting the NCAA tourny in in the covid year, using every available gym in the state and never had a hiccup.

The Colts may suck, but the stands will be filled. Other fans show up, money is still being made. Irsay is note leaving because the team is struggling. He will find someone to help build it back up to a winner. This is not jacksonville

I don't want to beat a dead horse (no pun intended), and you may be right that no matter how bad this team gets they will stay right here in Indy. But it is no secret that the league wants to expand to Canada, Europe, and maybe even Mexico. Then you have some of the cities I mentioned that desperately want a team, especially San Antonio. I can't see them adding more teams, so how do you get a franchise in San Antonio, or London, or Toronto...you have to move existing teams. You make some good arguments why we shouldn't worry about us being one of those teams, but I still worry that a long stretch of losing might make us vulnerable...now I am going to shut up about all of this because I never intended to raise such a ruckus!
