gently caress this move and this new "team." I'm a San Diego Chargers fan, not a loving "Los Angles" Chargers fan. Don't get me wrong, I like LA and always have an excellent time there (parts of it have grown on me) but moving this team there is as disgusting as a Donald Trump presidency. Dean Spanos can go choke on a fat cock and die. I hope he's beheaded by the Mexican cartel.

Plus, Rivers has thrown INTs to like half the NFL's defense at this point so you have a pretty good start right there.

I get it but there's a reason Las Vegas doesn't have any professional sports teams. It's a city based mostly on transientism. People come and go but never actually live there long enough to "invest" into any kind of sports team. San Diego honestly had a lot of similiar problems. Yeah San Diego is a major city but there's a HUGE military and transplant population there that has roots in other places but there was at least enough of a population to back a professional sports team. Las Vegas doesn't have that luxury though. 90% of the tickets sold to any of these games would be casino comps or other things of that nature. It's funny though how it all comes down to performance because when the Chargers did well, fans came out of the woodwork.

Yes, 90% was a pretty extreme exaggeration and I do think that since it's only a 4 hour drive, you'll get a large influx of fans from LA and socal and I'm sure all over norcal and other parts, too but I just don't see LV having enough of a population to support an NFL team on a more long term, consistent basis. Vegas seems to be kind of a weird area if you look at some NFL "fan maps" because it's at the center of like 49's fans, Raiders fans, Broncos fans and Cardinals fans. I honestly hope that everything proves me wrong and, I'm not insisting that any of my points are scientific in any way but, I just don't see the potential based on what I know about that area while being pretty familiar with it. What I do know about San Diego sports though after living there and having family there is that there is a very large percentage of "corporate" seats at both Qualcomm and Petco that are "given" away. I'm making a pretty big assumption here but in places like Green Bay or Fenway, I'm guessing you'd be very hard pressed to find as many of these kinds of seats as you do out west. Some of it I'm sure has to do with the quality of the teams. The culture here is just so different than east coast sports. West coast sports are more of a "perk" than a culture or lifestyle. I hate to say it but the majority of people here just don't have the "passion" that you'd find out east. I've lived on both coasts, I've been to games, I've experienced this first hand. I'm not saying that there aren't dedicated fans out west or that people aren't as as passionate. There are just fewer of them, if any of this makes sense and, it's a very evident atmosphere at these stadiums.

Spanos hosed us so hard there's no going back. There's only one reply worthy of anything Dean Spanos could ever say to attempt to make things "right": " go kill u r self"
