The chargers and rams together will not win as many games as the Raiders. Bring them back.

Wouldn’t hurt my feelings to see the whole league go belly up.


I vote to wipe the slate clean and start over. No more NFL. . .How about PFL Patriotic Football League.

That Bammy / Clemson game was awesome! That is what it is all about.

Why?

As a native Angeleno, this sounds like a dumb idea to me.

Dodgers and Lakers will always dominate the sports scene in LA.

Interestingly, both of those teams are transplants to Los Angeles.

I just loved the fact that the people of San Diego basicly told the Chargers to get lost by not voting for an increase in the hotel tax.

A lot more cities need to get on board this train and stop these teams from profiting at the expense of the tax payer.

No one in LA cares about the Rams, why would they care about the Chargers?

“...college ball from now on”.

Welcome to the party pal. Mike Brown drove me into the arms of the Buckeyes in the early `90s with his miserable mismanagement of the Bengals. Haven’t spent a dime on Bengals tickets or products in twenty four years.

Plus the environment at college games is superior to the environment at NFL games. Especially at The Shoe.

As a fellow Buckeye (Centerville/Dayton), I was a Bengal fan, too.

But when Mike Brown/Marvin Lewis betrayed Carson Palmer to promote the “child” Ocho Stinko who lacked the brain power to grasp the playbook/routes, I departed the bengals fan wagon and have been following Carson ever since.

He’s a good guy with exceptional football talent and true warrior - sad he was incarcerated in Cincinnati but glad he’s completing his career in Arizona with a quality organization, coached and teammates.

The Rams sold out all 70,000 season tickets in six hours when they went on sale last July.

The Chargers are planning to play in a 30,000 seat soccer stadium. Will they fill it?

And the Clippers came from San Diego. The only "native" LA team is the Kings.

"Bring them back" Raiders Worst attendance in the league, and they had a decent team. Sin city is a perfect match for the Raiders. If Trump cleanses these sanctuary cities 60℅ of the Los Angeles fan base for the Raiders would be back in South America
