Thank You Arthur Blank

These past couple of years in the NFL, we’ve seen owners ignore their team’s fan bases and act with no regard for cities that have loved and supported their teams for years. Stan Kroenke moved the St. Louis Rams to Los Angeles, neglecting the history of Kurt Warner and the “Greatest Show on Turf” team that won Super Bowl XXXIV. Dean Spanos moved the San Diego Chargers to Los Angeles, rejecting the support of die-hard fans that were continuously loyal, in spite of the Chargers’ lack of success. Jed York was instrumental in the 49ers moving to Levi Stadium, and having Candlestick Park torn down, destroying an NFL monument and a home to innumerable legends of the past.
