so now l.a. once again has two teams not to care about.

Guesses on where they move in ten years? I'll say Portland and San Antonio, assuming the Jags finally make the move to London.

Just another chance to finally meet one of my lesser life goals by hanging out with Chuggie.

In Mexico City because he's getting tossed on the other side of the Wall?

Anyway, look at this travesty of a logo.

More like Tijuana but sure.

No chance of a Portland team. Even LA will care more. Also Paul Allen would have to sell the Blazers or Seahawks for the NFL to allow it.

I am surprised that so many people seemed shocked they said they're moving.

Anyways I'm glad. The greedy owners and NFL should get some comeuppance here. LA isn't supporting two teams. I want this to fail massively.

That is one seriously lame logo.

Rome · January 12, 2017, 02:25:04 PM

The A looks like it's getting farged up the ass.

It looks exactly like the zesty Dodgers logo.

it cant fail...the stadium is going to be a huge success and that will inflate the value of the team. someone with a massive amount of money will have to buy it from spanos and take it to another location that has a stadium ready to go. you tell me what west coast market is going to have that anytime soon.

its going to be a farce, especially for the next 2 years. but lets remember they took a team from pathetic so cal and put it to another pathetic so cal city. this isnt taking the browns from cleveland.

it will hurt the nfl tv ratings, though. the #2 market is very rarely going to get the #1 425 game now. they are going to be stuck with awful chargers and rams games instead.

Oh but it can fail

If people don't show up to watch in the stadium it's a failure

You have a market that isn't hardcore sports fans trying to support two teams. The Rams at least had some roots there and holdovers from their LA days.

Rome · January 12, 2017, 04:07:38 PM

Who farging cares? The NFL is back in LA and that means another reason to tailgate in Cali.

just by having the stadium makes it a success....if spanos sells he will get multiple bills for it. if they moved the team to oklahoma city and filled it up each sunday, its worth like 800 mil. because money is worthless in okc.

its not just about getting people to show up. thats part of it, sure. but im sure theyll sell the important seats...visiting fans will come in swarms...and if theyre good theyll get a decent crowd. look at the clippers. they get a good crowd but outside of those people nobody cares. aaaaaaaaaaaaand they sold for 2 billion.
