I agree. Did you know they actually played in Orange County, like the Angels but went by the name LA?

Yeah,they played in Anaheim from 1980-1994

i wonder what happens if St Louis agrees to a new stadium at the last minute.

Good move for the Rams. Fisher will probably be glad to go back home too.

It is amazing that a market that big has not had a pro team for so long.

It'll be chaos like it was in 1980 in Oakland when Al Davis said he was moving the team to LA for 1982

You have issues with cities using revenue to attrack business?

Things like that should be a public referendum where the people decide if they want it or not.

Yes! It's not fair at all to the people who don't like football and to the businesses competing for that entertainment $. Amazon is a great example. Texas gave them all kinds of benefits to move there...but what about existing online retailers in Texas? They don't get the benefits that Amazon got, and they have to compete with Amazon's pricing? It's like the governor said "f*** you" to the businesses that built Texas, and nobody cares.

Do you know sports fans from LA? It's all my friends from LA talk about. They are Raiders fans, though.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Now apparently the Chargers and Raiders are talking sharing a stadium in Carson.

Suddenly LA could go from zero teams to 3. Personally I think from a PR standpoint, this would be bad for the NFL.

Titans aren't going anywhere for 15 years.

Los Angeles is the trump card the NFL has been playing for 15 years to help owners extort new stadium deals. Off the top of my head, the Vikings, Seahawks, Falcons, Colts, Cardinals, Raiders, Chargers, Jaguars have all been linked to LA.
