The Rams sucked this year but they were gone for 20 years and it only took a few months for nobody to care again. So sure lets shove another team there.

Make the Rams and Chargers play each other every year to make sure the stadium at least gets half full

It's funny that he's moving the team to increase it's value (but likely not revenue) and then isn't going to sell the team.

Feel bad for Chargers fans but at least they're moving about as close as humanly possible for a team moving.

I think they'll probably overtake the Rams in popularity (actually having a QB helps), but it really feels like within 15 years max at least one of these two teams will not be in LA.

gently caress your city if you give them a stadium though.

Aren't they going to share the new stadium with the Rams?

Their QB said on the record he'd never move to LA for the Chargers

So either they rebrand or (possibly and) he asks for a trade

Yeah, I mean when they move again.

I mean this isn't a long term solution regardless of what they say. They or the Rams will leave soon enough.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
It would be easier for me to cheer for the Chargers than the Rams but I'll probably stick to pretending to care about the Cardinals once or twice a year.

gently caress, this sucks bad for San Diego. Sorry Ross. Speaking as someone who lost his favorite pro sports team...even with how much the writing seemed on the wall and even with how awful the owner is, even with how much of a raw deal it would have been for the city to foot the bill, it doesn't make the day it happens any easier.

Let's see, the last time a pro team moved and rebranded, they came up with a really lame and generic weather term as their nickname.
