I'm looking at it from a fan and resident perspective.
Democrat Governors and Mayors were offering money for the Skins to move out of VA and they were offering a lot more than 4 million dollars too.

And it would have been a good situation for their economies too. I'm happy they stayed in my backyard. I get to meet and workout with a lot of the players at my gym in the off season. They're out in the community, working with kids and quite frankly, it's kind of neat to have some of them as neighbors or sit next to in a local restaurant
