When the Eagles visited the Chargers of Los Angeles — previously of San Diego – earlier this season, it was essentially a home game for Philadelphia. Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers said the 26-24 loss to the Birds was "not a home game" because of the overwhelming green majority in the stands.
Apparently, FOX is cognizant of this likely happening when the Rams of Los Angeles — previously of St. Louis – play the Eagles on Sunday (barring a wildfire postponement). FOX is doubling down on this game, which features two NFC contenders and fits in the semi-primetime slot of 4:25 p.m. EST. After not losing the game to a flex into the Sunday night slot, the network decided to pull out all the stops and will have a studio set out front of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to create a "College Game GameDay"-esque atmosphere.

They will be painting the seats random colors before next season’s opener.
And they essentially destroyed the girl their quarterback likely raped. So much for the “honor” code.
P.S.: Neither the star Army QB Rashad or his female accuser should have been allowed to remain at West Point. Thankfully, she quit, but Rashad has been kept, even though he’s committed multiple offenses, any one of which would have gotten a white, non-football playing male kicked out. And that could mean dead warfighters after this knothead graduates.

Yes, though she too was unfit to be at USMA. She admits to having sex with multiple cadets, including Rashad...as a Plebe! I am shocked by the number of sexual assault cases reported at West Point, but not surprised. Makes my point why men and women do not belong together in close quarters and in high stress environments, such as those found all over the military. Nor should the services be taking substandard prospects such as Rashad. There’s been a lot of relaxing of standards throughout the armed forces to admit and promote women and minorities...and “that’s a high price to pay for being fashionable.”
Make the seats twice as big, and double the price - that’ll bring ‘em in!
Soccer stands full of jigsaw puzzle boxes? Must be Xmas.
The Los Angeles Mediocres football club already charges $100 for parking at its soccer field. Am sure that’s attracting a lot of fans.

Wow, actually makes TV and home beverages attractive - perhaps with Netflix instead of concussion ball.
Interesting - but note this comes from a Philly paper. It is to be expected that the LA teams have yet to cultivate a loyal following. The Rams bailed on LA decades ago and the Chargers are carpetbaggers. The Raiders also bailed on LA but will probably do well in Las Vegas.
However, the Rams are having a great season so they may actually find some pockets of real support. In the end though it will take something monumental to cement these teams into the consciousness of Los Angelenos. The Hispanic community never really embraced the Dodgers in part because building Dodger Stadium displaced thousands of Hispanics in Chavez Ravine. But then Fernando Valenzeula came along... That’s the kind of thing it will take to really make it work.
(though the new stadium might be pretty awesome and could be a draw... whether it will endear the city to one or both teams I dunno).
You are judge and jury that he raped her?
Other than a “she said,” there is absolutely no evidence of that.
tldr; She was sexually promiscuous while attending West Point, didn’t get along with her room mates who dropped a dime on her about sexual encounters while at West Point.
Ahmad Bradshaw leaked records show honor violations and a low rating of respectability as a future army officer. He was cleared twice.
The conclusion was they likely had consensual sex but Ahmad denies ever having sex with her.

PAY to PLAY. Funny thing. The NFL boycotters won’t even notice.
That is EXACTLY the picture I was hoping for!!
The academies should never have been forced by the lawyers to go Co-Ed. That was the beginning of the downfall. The QB escaped the blatant violation of the honor code because there are exceptions for black Muslims.
Two of my cousins are graduates of The Point, one of them was on the track team. Both graduated before the lawyers forced them to comply with their edicts.
