SI Vault: Nobody much cares if the Cards shuffle off to Phoenix

[BillsCarnage]

It seems that winning or losing an NFL franchise isn't such a big deal anymore. Oh sure, there are a few fans in St. Louis mourning the presumed passing of the football Cardinals, and there's some rejoicing in Phoenix over the Cardinals' expected arrival. Those cautionary modifiers are appropriate because the transfer of this misbegotten team is not yet official, Cardinals owner Bill Bidwill having taken the unusual course of going through channels before clearing out of one town and moving to another. But since his fellow owners are so grateful to Bidwill for letting them vote on the matter, a privilege denied them by two previous defectors, we can now consider the move a fait accompli. And yet there's no black crepe in St. Louis or dancing in the streets of Phoenix.

I cared a lot.

Lucky for me Direct TV was invented and now it's not such a big deal at all, the only thing that I wonder about is that once you are bonded to any team how do you get past that?

It scares me that some people can.
