I’ve read off-hand comments over the years questioning why Jacksonville was awarded an NFL franchise in 1993. True, the city’s population is larger than a number of other NFL cities, but college athletics was/is king for the North Florida/Southern Georgia military town.

Who could guess the Jaguars would bow to the inevitability that loyalty by donating $30,000 to Planned Parenthood of Northeast Florida? I’m not sure it’s a wise business model to give money to an organization whose mission is to keep as few new football fans as possible from being born. According to the press release, the Straight Talk grant is for reducing teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Nothing indicates the money is earmarked for abortion procedures, but still. Whose to say that money didn’t purchase a new vacuum cleaner?

Now I think Willis McGahee ended up on the wrong team.
