Between markets? Rams, Raiders, Chargers....Texans were expansion.....???
This thread, like allll the others, is another ploy in an endless line of them, to tie a minor event to the eventual relocation of the Coyotes. This one isn't a sign of it either. Eventually the thread will degrade and get locked as the same dozen or so relocationistas run out of rotten tomatoes to throw at Arizona, again. (to the new guy, @Venial Cyn, this has been going on for a loooong time. Same ole same ole. The cast of characters for the coyotes has completely changed - different owners, coaches, players, management, donut vendors, the only thing that hasn't changed is the location - so that's apparently the thing they really dislike. Notice it's never framed as an academic discussion on business: "how they are still in Arizona", but rather "HOW are THEY still in ARIZONA?!!!"...and yet, there they remain.).
It's curious that you see those discussions which you disagree with as "ploys". And by the way, Venial Cyn is not a guy but a girl, probably Cynthia.
The great majority of the these boards are "going on for a loooong time. Same ole same ole." The coaches change and the fire-the-coach boards still appear, regular as clockwork. The general managers move on or are moved out, and the general manager second guessing boards still appear, same old same ole. The team goes into a slump or a surge and the same boards will be created in response, and many of us will enjoy filling them with our unfounded speculations. That's what these boards are for. In many ways, the circular repetition mirrors our own lives so don't be too quick to dismiss a topic as boring or 'same ole same ole', especially when it's one that personally offends you.
"Tie a minor event"? Given the horrible disasters befalling poor Merulo, what would you consider a major event?
And you are most emphatically correct in pointing out that the cast of characters has completely changed and only the location remains the same. What I think you're lacking, however, is a full appreciation of the significance of these two points.
