Apparently the two options on the ballot are Chargers and Rams to Inglewood or Raiders and Chargers to Carson, and that's it.

Chargers :smith:

Is there a 3rd "No" option?

The NFL could make it one. Two fanbases of the same city in the same division meeting on mutual homefield twice a season could be an event if they let it. Trade Burfict and Suh to the teams if you nee to spice it up.

Ideally, this will result in the Raiders getting a few hundo mil from the league as a result, allowing them to build a new stadium in Oakland. Failing that, I'm fine with the Raiders moving to LA.

Crime went up when the Raiders were here in LA, once they left crime went down and has continued to go down until this past year(rumors of Raiders return). Coincidence?!

Not having a NFL team works well here in LA because most people are from other places and are loyal to their teams. So many Steelers bars and midwest fan clubs here. I liked the idea previously of a Downtown LA stadium next to Staples just because it is easy to get to via non driving. Oakland and SD currently have good accessibility(BART, amtrak , Trolley, lots of freeways) but Carson is hosed, Inglewood is better but still hosed for traffic. Terrible planning.

It's a combination of not getting a new stadium because of political instability from about 2003-2012, and not wanting other teams to come into the southern california market unless the Chargers get a piece of the LA market

People are like "oh no the Coliseum can't be that bad" and I have to remind them that there were literally rooms overflowing with fecal matter. It's horrible and the A's/Raiders deserve new digs.

The Raiders have to give some of their gameday gate revenues to the A's, so even if they had identical attendance numbers as the Rams, they'd be getting less revenue from it.

e. Also they're still paying for the stadium/refurb/rehab or some poo poo, despite it being the oldest NFL stadium in the country.
