All I can say is I'm glad Robert Irsay was an asshole! Indianapolis metro area is small compared to many other cities they compete with, at the time of the move it was even smaller, I doubt Indianapolis would have ever gotten an expansion team, considering the metro size and the proximity of Cincinnati and Chicago...this may have been the only way we could get a team. So Irsay being an asshole worked out very well for us!
