TheWriter asked me to find examples of when a San Antonio newspaper wrote about rumors of an NFL team moving to San Antonio...

And this one found me.

I'm sure the fact that this entire article was spawned from what Benson's lawyer said didn't enter your mind.

You said that SA writer like to write "hypothetical" articles about the NFL to the SA.

This isn't hypothetical, this is legit seeing how the lawyer of the man who owns the team made the statements.

no way.

ever.

we are already bumping the sales tax ceiling and people are screaming about property taxes being too high... You can't issue those kind of bonds without a revenue stream to pay for them...and having already been fooled once the people here will NOT vote for any kind of new tax to pay for a $400 million gift to a hypothetical football team...

And yet... the Alamodome operated in the black for many years and more than paid for itself, even without an NFL team. The dome was a good investment.

No... I said, verbatim:

I wonder if writers in San Antonio have the "[Insert NFL Team] May Relocate to San Antonio as [Insert NFL Owner from San Antonio] Battles with [Insert NFL City] over Stadium" built as a macro into Word.

Thanks for playing though.
