Again I’ll say, San Diego is one of the best cities in the country. How on earth is it possible the city and the NFL can not come to an agreement there?

I mean this is about ROI and money right? The NFL needs a raise right? If the owners of those teams can convince the other owners that moving their teams from small markets to massive markets makes them more money, then who is stopping this from happening? Again, the NFL doesn't NEED a team in London.


The NFL doesn't NEED anything besides money

Agreed. I don’t want the NFL anywhere near my old home again. They’re crooks and should be treated as such.

found this interesting

Ben Allbright on where he thinks the chargers will end up

"I would rank St. Louis and Los Angeles in the top tier.

Then I would put London in the next tier.

And San Antonio would be at the bottom tier."

The people of San Diego decided they didn’t want to support corporate welfare

cant blame you.

The only way I allow the NFL back in with 1)local ownership, 2) NFL waves any fee's 3) nfl pays for new or allows us to use EJD.

What's incredible is SD has no major sports franchises (subtle jab at Padres).

Writer says no path to stadium in SD, not an option at all.


So the Chargers are too good to share the stadium SDSU wants to build?

The tri-state area in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania can barely support two NFL teams and that's the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass.

Two NFL teams in Los Angeles never made sense to me. The insanely good Rams least year had mediocre attendance ffs.

Is it because they share a stadium?

What? Are we pretending that Igges and Steelers aren’t supported.

NFL has no issues of support in that area.

If STL is smart, they would take that fraudulent league to the woodshed and use the money to renovate the dome so they can get the Arch Madness series and other OOC games again.

This is the most likely thing to happen.

The NFL knows its beyond fricked with the lawsuits. This could reach criminal court.

Considering they have had the Chargers and Clippers at some point in the past, I think it can be argued they have never had a major sports team.

What about Mexico City? Gotta save London for the Jags.

Any additional rev would be swallowed up by security.

We’ve seen baseball players and families in harms way in South America.

With the problems in Mexico I can’t even imagine trying to sell your wife and kids you are moving there.

Ftr, I love Mexico. Been there at least 3 dozen times. Will be going back. But, I’m not a rich althete who can pay a ransom.
