"This team is the Jacksonville Jaguars"
Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver delivered an unequivocal message to the team’s fans Thursday, "I’m not selling the team. The team is not moving to (Los Angeles)."
Weaver was reacting to a report in Wednesday’s "Philadelphia Daily News" that claimed he was in the process of selling the Jaguars to New Jersey food king C. Dean Metropoulos. The report speculated that Metropoulos would then move the team to Los Angeles.
Metropoulos’ name may have surfaced as the result of the Jaguars’ intention over a year ago to sell minority interest in the team for the purpose of paying down the team’s debt.
"This team is the Jacksonville Jaguars," said Weaver. "And I want our fans to get as excited as I am."
