A new generation of fans probably doesn't even realize the Colts once played in Baltimore, but to some, those wounds still sting. It seems inevitable every time the Ravens and Colts play that the storyline of the Colts' former city has to come up. This is something that's still a big deal, as the Colts' cowardly departure in March 1984 robbed the Baltimore area of a football team for 12 years. 12 long years that football fans will never get back.
I know that it may seem petty to hold onto a grudge like this, but it's not something you just forget. Many Baltimore fans still resent the Colts for leaving, even though no player currently on either team had anything to do with that move.
