[edit] Change to a Redirect

Just as the Dallas Texans (AFL) is a redirect, to the current team, the Kansas City chiefs (and is included in the history there), this one should redirect to the current team, the Indianapolis Colts.

In any case, they should both probably work the same way.

Will discuss before doing... possible affected pages:

I disagree. In the case of the AFL Texans, ownership was maintained by essentially the same people as it was a relocation, while the NFL Texans limped to the end of the 1952 season, folded, and then were sold. The Texans actually had a stronger connection with the New York Yanks (albeit a tenuous one at best) than with the second Baltimore Colts franchise. A redirect would be appropriate if it were to a continuation of the franchise (for example, from Los Angeles Chargers to San Diego Chargers, or Cleveland Rams and Los Angeles Rams to St. Louis Rams); but no such continuation occurred after the folding of the NFL Texans. 147.70.242.39 22:03, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
