Would a move to another city do it?How about trading your favorite player?Maybe they don't make any effort to put a winning team on the field?As a Raider fan I've suffered through Al Davis and his refusal to admit he needs help running the team and his refusal to accept responsibility for the state the team is in.I think the last straw for me would be if he moved the team again and changed the teams name. the name Raiders gets retired by the league just like they retired the Oilers name.

Signing a piece of crap and a poor excuse of a human being named Michael Vick. Thankfully my Steelers didn't make that mistake!

Probably nothing, within reason. They could do things that might severely limit my interest in the team for the time being, but that's about it.

That's why I'm not rooting for the Eagles this year. I refuse to cheer for Michael Vick, I want any team with Vick on its roster to lose every game.

I guess if the Colts and Pacers left Indy, I would stop rooting for them. But if the past few years of Pacers embarrasments hasn't soured me, I guess nothing will.

I dont see Jerry Richardson letting anything too controversial happen to my Panthers so, short of leaving the city, nothing that I can think of. (wouldnt have wanted vick, though, but I guess thats a moot point now )

My brother is an Eagles fan and wont even talk about it.A mistake is one thing but a guy who knows animals are being killed and is okay with it shouldn't have been given a second chance.

Exactly. At least 6 years of torturing animals for fun is not a "mistake." I cannot find it within myself to cheer for the guy or to want his team to win...even if its the team that I've rooted for since I was a kid.

I agree that Vick did his time and should get a chance to be a productive member of society...but I think that should be at Wal-Mart or McDonald's, not on a football field to make millions of dollars and be idolized by kids. Although I do think that before they released him from prison, they should have put him in a cage, sprayed him with steak-scented cologne, and let those pit bulls at him.

I didn't stop rooting for the Browns even during the long three seasons when they didn't exist.

Probaly if they relocated, got new staff, majority of new players. Performance wise I could put up with anything. Still root for your team whether they're 10-0 or 0-10.
