I'm a little astonished at the hardliners who are daring the team to move by not supporting the use of public funds in any way, but at the same time are morally outraged that the team would threaten to move. Pick one.

I don't see these as mutually exclusive...
people can see the veiled
threat of moving as outrageous and simultaneously not want public money being put towards a private corporation.
Burke threatening to move doesn't help move the process forward whatsoever and just acts to galvanize those that are against providing public funds
