The owner of the NFL team threatened to move the team to a different city if the residents didn't surrender their money over to him for a
new stadium/entertainment district. He wasn't the first guy to ever do something like that in town, he just happened to be the richest. In a way he was worse, since the guy
that did it before him was at least a local boy, not that anybody would forgive him for what he did with
the city's first pro sports team.
