What's gonna happen to the Renegades?After just one year of being in Rome, the Rome Renegades nearly won the National Indoor Football Championship. Now, they are joining a new league, but what does that mean for Rome? As of right now they will continue to reside in Rome. However, the future is a concern. �I�m not sure where we will be in the next couple of years. Our fans have been great to us this far. Hopefully we can stay in Rome, but I�m not sure if we can because of the new league,� said one of the players.One thing for sure is that, according to some of the Renegades' players, Rome should be proud of itself. �We sold out a lot of games, and there was never a time when you looked in to the stands and asked where our crowd was,� another player said. So if it�s not the community�s fault, then who do we have to blame?Do the players want out? What about management?Were we just another stepping stone to a soon to be great football team? Is this just another selfish team coming to little town just to get started? �Rome has been great to us and we have no desire to leave it at all. They gave this team a home when we really needed one. The only reason that we would ever leave here is if it was required by our new conference,� said a group of players.Rome has turned into a sports town with professional baseball, football and, of course, women�s basketball. With the stadium sold out, it appears that Rome has adapted to it like it did the Braves. As a town, Rome�s main focus needs to be on enjoying these teams while we have them and giving them the respect they deserve. |
