Yep, I mean the Rams moving here just makes too much sense that I fear the NFL is going to screw it up. The owner literally has a construction crew ready to start digging in the next few weeks in Inglewood and he's going to pay for the whole thing himself! All I read online in the comment section of these articles is "no taxpayer money for billionaire owners, pay for your own building" and this is everything you can ask for. The Carson proposal is probably a year from breaking ground.
The Super Bowl, the College Football Championship, the Final Four can all be hosted by this stadium in the next 3 years if they start building now (though realistically it'll take a few extra years to win the rights to host those). The NFL would be wise to give Inglewood/The Rams the go ahead.
As a fan of a team that left town.... yeah they returned 3 years later as an expansion team, I feel for the fans of the cities that may lose their respective teams, and quite honestly I oppose the teams moving to LA. It's the fans of the cities that are losing their teams getting screwed, which tells you the NFL and it's owners really don't give a s*** about their fans, and care only about the bottom line! Honestly, the Rams should have NEVER left LA in the first place! I could say that technically they should have never left Cleveland, but that was way before my time, and the Browns were already well established in Cleveland for a long time by the time I was born. At any rate I remember quite well, when the Browns, Oilers, Raiders and Rams all left their respective cities and the instability it created. So much so, that in 1998 when the Seahawks were just about packed up and ready to move to LA, with a deal in place and the NFL put the kibosh on it!
Leave all three be. The NFL has been too much of a revolving door as it is. However if there is to be expansion down the road LA should get first dibs.
I really don't want to hear people from St. Louis cry about someone taking a team from another city or how L.A. doesn't "deserve a team because they couldn't keep one", seeing how their city has done BOTH.
I think it will be the Chargers and the Rams heading to LA. I just wonder if the Rams will change their uniforms back to what they were the first time they were in LA?
The "L.A. Chargers"! Seems to have a good ring to it. Just wonder if they will remain the Chargers, or if they'll decide to do the Baltimore Ravens thing and roll with a brand new nickname?
