This is often a talking point but I just don't think it passes the sniff test. How many people in Arizona that are watching nationally televised games (likely a small number) are going to bail if the coyotes leave?
Just seems like too tiny a number to care about. Now if the coyotes were a team that had stars and actually ever had some non local appeal, I could understand the point.
