Make a t-shirt. Just like that. Please.

It would be great to wear at a Chief Bills game.

What I don't get is how stupid they are for letting this happen. Like... did they not see how empty the stadium was at the end of the Rams season? Did they think that was just because they didn't have a loving star player there like Phillip Rivers?

Both of these teams are going to move again within a decade.

Ask me how to run a good team into the ground.
I stopped giving a poo poo about the Chargers and the NFL about 4 or 5 years ago largely because of that piece of poo poo Dean Spanos hiring his incompetent son as the director of player personnel and the fact that they fired Schottenheimer to hire literally the worst coach in NFL history. Good on San Diego for refusing to dole out corporate welfare; hopefully other cities follow suit in the future.

Philip Rivers is still a super cool dude though.

If we can't get Vegas Raiders, SD Raiders is the second best option

This is, of course, assuming a full move to Mexico City is off the table for the team

San Diego wants a team who wants to be here. If the Raiders said they wanted to be here, they'd be openly embraced and Dean would lose the last vestiges of his fractured fanbase.

San Diego needed rid of the chargers. Any other team would be better but the ownership and quality of the product plus the general shittiness of the franchise makes them not with fighting for

Don't be dramatic. The Rams might realistically have been the most boring team in the NFL this season, in a new market, in a lovely stadium. This is a business plan for the next few decades. It's going to take time, and that was expected.

Kroenke, agreed.

I don't believe for a moment Dean Spanos even thinks he'll be alive for the next few decades, let alone that he'll be satisfied with where he and his baby team are by then, and can easily see him hustling a new place for money before Trump's reelection is over

It sucks for Chargers fans but I'm glad the citizens of SD told them to gently caress off. All of my relatives in LA hate that the Rams moved back and I'm sure they're not going to give a poo poo about the Chargers either.

Agreed, but it should be channeled into anger at Spanos.

You know, sports fans riot over the dumbest poo poo, it would've been fantastic if the Chargers didn't have any corporate offices to move to LA.

This is the real reason LA hasn't had a team for 20 years, not anything about the market or the fans. They told everyone to fuckoff for public funding, and it took entirely privately financed stadium for anything to get built

Of all the things to find today, I found a $25 PF Chang's gift card while cleaning up some boxes tonight.

If any Chargers fans would like some free PF Chang's, please let me know.
