Jaguars fans launch website to protest 2nd London game

Jacksonville Jaguars fans are not happy with the news that the team will host two games in London next season.

A group called the Bold City Brigade, consisting of Jaguars fans, launched the Duval Coalition to express their opposition to the team playing a second game across the pond.

"When Jacksonville was awarded the 30th NFL franchise in 1993 it was a direct result of a passionate community rallying around a common cause," a statement on the group's website reads. "With the announcement of the Jaguars moving two home games to London it has become clear that the voice of that community is no longer being heard or perhaps being ignored."

As of Thursday afternoon, more than 17,000 fans and 690 local businesses have signed up on the website.

Bold City Brigade president John Caputo told Emily Bloch of the Florida Times-Union he hopes to meet with the Jaguars, and it appears the team is open to the idea.

"We know how passionate this fan base is and we're all striving for the same thing: to keep the Jaguars strong in Jacksonville," Jaguars president Mark Lamping said. "We look forward to having productive dialogue with the group, which as I understand it consists of season-ticket members and local business owners. It's important for us to listen to our fans."
