I'll never say never but I use data, logic and past experience to say it's very unlikely in my opinion.

SA could easily draw a much larger fan base than the city itself and the NFL has already acknowledged this in its summation of the viability of SA. Richmond doesn't have to be DC metro area - but it is Redskins territory. North Dakota isn't anywhere near Minneapolis, but it is predominately Viking in it's fan base. SA has the potential that is beyond its own population and its own metro area and it is second only to LA in that potential. This has been acknowledged by the NFL period. It can do it and it eventually will.
Definately agree there. Even if the NFL doesn't....

Politics, huh. Well those same "politics" could end up placing a team here as well. Politics can work both ways.
