Are Jags About to be Terminated?

Not sure if many of you know this, but in late October, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed off on a stadium bill to help expedite construction of an NFL stadium in the San Gabriel Valley. So it looks like the NFL will be coming to Los Angeles very soon.

Now comes the question. What team will Los Angeles land? All signs have to be pointing to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

While it may be the largest city in Florida, Jacksonville has a lack of  major corporations which has caused the city to fail to consistently support the NFL team year in, year out. The Jags have poor attendence despite having one of the lower average ticket prices in the league.

Another thing that doesnt bode well for the Jags surviving in Jacksonville, is they have no real legacy with the city. The team has only been in Jacksonville since 1995, and while the Jags miracuously made the AFC  Championship game in just their second season, the team has yet to win an AFC Championship, having reached that game one other time in 1999.

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States and is currently without an NFL team.  With with the way the economy is, and with the Terminator signing the stadium bill, you can be assured that the NFL will be back in Los Angeles in the next couple years.

LA hasn't given support to any NFL team in the past. They don't deserve one.
