The game was supposed to be hosted in Mexico because the NFL wants to grow their Mexican audience. Mexico pumped a shitload of money into making this thing work. Both the NFL and Mexico stood to lose a shitload of money by moving the game. But yeah, they moved it because they wanted LA to win.

If you believe that, I have a ****ing bridge to sell you. In Mexico. The NFL could have resodded that field and had the game there with perfect field conditions if they wanted to... There was a mass shooting at a bar in Thousand Oaks about a week before the game, AND a bunch of wildfires burning up Southern California at that time. They talked about it all game long, and about how good it was for the residents of Socal to get their mind off the tragedies they were enduring, etc. The game was moved back to LA to allow the Rams to put on a show for the LA fans in a time of strife, to allow those people to connect with a team that had just moved there. It was a heartstrings win, and the NFL wanted it in front of their hometown crowd. Think about it. |
