London, Mexico... I think it's BS to ask players to move to a foreign country to play American football

What did this have to do with anything? No one was talking about Florida. We all know you live there...

South central Texas is football hungry. Bring us a team.

Anywhere in south texas the entire stadium would be sold out within days and have a 5 year waiting list. The fans would be totally rabid and appreciative.

Not a problem for the NBA, NHL, or MLB. Even MLS.

Who the **** wants to live there?

The Cabo San Lucas Chargers!

Mexico City is kind of a shit hole but Monterrey is nicer, closer, and richer.

And it's still in Mexico. Playing the occasional game there is one thing. Moving there, living there permanently, raising a family there, is quite another. We're not talking Canada here.

Even for the SJWs, remember, they aren't exactly live-by-example types.

I'd attend that game every single year.

Even at that, that's just by somebody's estimate. There's nothing that definitively says that he would be able to sell the team for more in L.A. with 10k fans attending games vs. San Diego with a full stadium.

Sure, Forbes is making an educated estimate but in reality, they've always projected way too low.

Who in their right mind thought that the Clippers would sell for $2 billion? The Clippers were the NBA equivalent to the Chargers. An Also-Ran laughingstock that never won a championship and didn't own or play it their own dedicated facility.

While the sale to Ballmer shocked outsiders, NBA owners were absolutely thrilled because the valuation of their teams, especially those in large markets, have risen considerably. Ballmer's announced that he's building a facility exclusively for the Clippers, just across from Kroenke World, which will raise the value of the franchise even further.

The NBA just closed a monster television contract, which further ensures that NBA owners have become a "Can't Miss" league on the level of the NFL.

The bottom line is that Spanos family has no business running an NFL franchise. 98% of their Net Worth is tied to the Chargers, making it impossible for them to build their own facility in ANY state or municipality. Taxpayers in California want nothing to do with subsidizing billionaire football owners.

Kroenke had a cold, calculated plan that began the microsecond he bought into the Rams. His facility will be the NFL's "Mecca" and you can damn sure bet that he won't run the team like he did in St. Louis, which we've already witnessed in hiring McVay, Wade Phillips and so on.

The Rams will win and people will attend Kroenke World in droves. If the Rams win in the meantime, more people will attend the Coliseum and he'll have a Win-Win situation until 2020.

Yeah but the Chargers will only go back with a new owner and a new stadium. Which doubt they will get both!

"Spanos agreed to pay a $645 million relocation fee, which means the 30 other owners have a financial incentive not to let the Chargers leave L.A. (each team gets a $21.5 million cut of the relocation fee, with the exception of the Rams and Chargers)."

This will be the real reason if KC loses tomorrow.....
