Having the stadium in Inglewood means one team will play in the Colosseum and the other in Dodger/Angel Stadium until the stadium is built.

The Dodgers and Angels have already said no to this. Same with the Rose Bowl.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

Hmmmm? This seems to be the solutions to the stadium dilemma. Rams would move and the Chargers would have the option of moving in 16, 17, or 18.

@UTKevinAcee
Word is that option for #Chargers to receive conditional approval to move & give San Diego another try is on table. Chargers have
... been resistant to that solution. They don't believe they'll get public money in SD and would then trail Rams in LA.

LA is one giant asphalt-paved unsustainable suburb. If you took the square footage of all the surface parking in LA this is what you get:



There are a bunch of cities that suck for this reason too, but LA is near the top.

If the Chargers had the votes to block Inglewood in a secret vote to begin with, they probably have the votes to block this as well if they aren't open to it.

Californians are basically Packers fans. They have this idea that they live this enlightened experience that everyone is envious of and all they can talk about is their state as this loving experience and how great it is and they don't realize the rest of the country doesn't give even a marginal gently caress and wants them to just die.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.

The 2nd team option is first going to the Chargers, than the Raiders.

Oh so the option is for the TBD. Rams/Inglewood is implied. If the Chargers dont want to cohabitate with the Rams, then the Raiders will get the same offer.

How they hell are they offering protection to the second owner if they don't even have it set in stone who it's going to be? That's like guaranteed second class citizen. I don't mind Kroenke getting the bulk of the deal, but if the Raiders end up playing in a blue and gold stadium in LA i'm gonna be pissed.

Imagine the look on Sheriff Arpaio's face when he finds out he's a Mexican.

And imagine the rest of the country without California's taxes keeping you afloat. (Is that how taxes work? I don't know. I don't care. It's the lie I tell myself to excuse rents of $1300 a month.)
