Baltimore Colts Victory Song!

Let's go you Baltimore Colts
And put that ball across the line,
So, drive on you Baltimore Colts -
Go in and strike like lightning bolts,
Fight, fight, fight,
Rear up you Colts and let's fight -
Crash through and show them your might -
For Baltimore and Maryland -
You will march on to victory

God bless the Baltimore Colts

Um, no. The Colts were an NFL team that moved to the AFC along with the Browns and the Steelers.

The merger hadn't happened when the Jets beat the Colts in Super Bowl III, though it was already in the works. The first Super Bowl after the merger saw the Colts beating the Cowboys- Super Bowl V.

SCREW THE COLTS LET'S GO STEELERS!

@Galantski While I will not argue with any of your points, and indeed agree with them, the fact remains that Irsay OWNED the team and as such is (was) free to do with them what he wishes. As a business owner, Mr. Irsay did not want to allow the city to take the team from him. Could he have gone about it in a different way? Yeah. But don't try to tell me that you would be any less salty about them moving the team if he had flat out said, "I'm moving the team."

@300Z31 - There are a few major differences between the examples you cite and the Colts situation: 1) The Colts were not a struggling franchise, by any means, and their home games were always sellouts or near sellouts, 2) The late owner Robert Irsay lied to the people of Baltimore, promising he wouldn't move the team, and 3) If this wasn't enough, it's the way Irsay moved the team--he sneaked the moving vans out of town in the dead of night. The way he treated very loyal fans was just wrong.

@300Z31 (cont) In fact, I've been to many Ravens games. I've been to the draft party at the stadium a few times even. I even remember going to the last football game the Baltimore Stallions played in Memorial Stadium. I was on the field when they tore the goal post down. So I'm definitely from here. Not from the city, no. But damn close.

@MCOneMan I am a current Baltimore (county) resident, and admittedly I was not alive when the Colts left (I'm only 25). But I am a life long, born and raised, Maryland resident. Most of my life lived in Frederick and Carroll counties. So yeah, call me a scab if you wish. But growing up hearing about the old Colts, I learned to love the colors/name/team so much that I wanted to watch the 'new' Colts. But I was also very excited when Balt. got a new team. (cont)

[MCOneMan]

@300Z31 So you're basically a scab...I could care less about people from Indiana who root for the Colts, it's their team. I find it very hard to believe that you're actually from Baltimore, because the only people who I knew that "followed" the team to Indy were people from peripheral areas who didn't feel the pain as strongly as those in and around the city.

@300Z31 (cont:) Baltimore still had a Hockey team. I grew up watching the Skipjacks and eventually the Bandits. I still love hockey, and enjoy going to Hershey Bears' games now. But as far as football is concerned, I followed the history. And like I said, I support the Ravens, and would still go to games here as well. But if they're playing the Colts...well, you know.

[300Z31]

@MCOneMan I didn't say it was isolated, but Baltimore is BY FAR the worst. The problem with your theory is that the Colts are/where the Colts. As a Colts fan, and a Baltimore resident, I followed the history. They started here, and moved. No, they're not the Baltimore Colts...but the Colts none-the-less. I love Baltimore...I just don't 'love' the Ravens. I don't hate them either...I hope they win (unless they're playing the Colts). But I'm an O's fan, and a Caps fan. I wish (cont:)

[MCOneMan]

@300Z31 Actually, Cleveland fans still hate Baltimore for taking the Browns. Many Canadian hockey fans root against the cities that took their hockey teams. It's not just isolated to Baltimore, My issue is with this silly idea that the national media pushes of "franchises" with all-time teams and records. You see these silly top Tennessee Titans of all-time which name 30 players who played in Houston, or the top St Louis Rams and name a bunch of LA players? I root for my town not a billionaire

@300Z31 This comment was from a year ago and was in response to Indianapolis fans badmouthing Baltimore fans who were talking about the song. Youtube now lists it as a top comment, and it is out of its context. That being said, it was a high point in the city's life that we stood together and refused to pick up the Redskins or follow the Colts to Indy. Baltimore Colts fans are sour because the record books and hall of fame leaves their memories in Indianapolis.
