Final point. History is "his-story." (His being the team.)
As most of us have admitted, this subject is not going to be solved on an online forum or petition, but it is a good discussion to have none-the-less.

Re: Who did Dan Dierdorf play for?
You make that statement as if it were a fact. To the contrary, it's just your opinion and likely a minority opinion at that. Do you think that local governments have been willing to cough up multi-billions for new stadia in the past couple decades thinking that the team to be housed in the new stadium "is not tied to a region, city, or individuals"?
Sorry, but I don't buy it, and I believe that most people would agree with me.
It's not just "the Colts". It's "the Baltimore Colts". With all due respect to Hoosiers: I could care less what happens to that team since it moved 23 years ago. The bond was broken by the Mayflowers. From 1947 through 1983, it's our history (we, the former Colts fans). It's not yours (the Indianapolis fans). The only person who can claim a link to both the Baltimore Colts and to your team is Jimmy Irsay.In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).
