To be fair, a lot of what he said is being taken out of context. He said that Dallas is primarily a football city. That's true. Texas is Football Capital of the World.

Rangers fans have been spoiled by the team. They have been incredibly good (much of that due to Hamilton himself) the past 4 or so seasons and that has really driven the attendance in Arlington up. Whether it sustains as the Rangers age and lose star quality guys like Hamilton remains to be seen.

And Anaheim/LA is pretty much a better baseball city by default.
