All three teams have previously been in LA and failed. Why is this time going to be any different? The people in LA have been able to watch many different games on TV. That will end when a team moves there. Blackout and home team rules will now take place and everyone will be forced to watch the local team or nothing. Fans lose again. Lastly, LA will not support any team that can’t win a Super Bowl every couple of years. That leaves the Chargers out of the picture and probably the Rams. The LA fanbase is on the side of the Raiders returning. The Rams and Chargers are ho hum in LA. The only people who are for these teams moving to LA are the politicians and local bureaucrats.

“If the NFL decides they CAN’T move to LA,…”

The NFL has NO say whatsoever if a team can move to a new market, Al Davis proved that in 1982 when he moved the Raiders to LA and sued the NFL and won treble damages.

For San Diego sports fans — and for taxpayers — the Chargers dilemma is pretty simple:
1. The Chargers want to move to a bigger market. And for good reasons. While San Diego CITY is the 7th largest in the nation, the San Diego REGION is one of the smallest NFL markets in America — especially considering that LA is about to get one or more NFL teams.
2. IF the Chargers get NFL permission to move to LA, nothing we taxpayers can offer them will keep them here — a wise financial decision by the Charger owners.
3. If the NFL decides they CAN’T move to LA, we don’t have to spend a dime on their dream stadium.

Either way, we should stop talking about a new stadium. Such a stadium won’t be the factor in whether they stay or go.
