^ Or Raiders and Charges and one of them changes conferences. The NFL would do that if two AFC teams moved to LA they won't have two teams playing in the same city, playing in the same conference.

Its tough with two original AFL teams leaving the AFC. that would piss me off. I guess you could put the seahawks back in the AFC though and move the chargers to NFC. Raiders are too historic to move out of the AFC with Al davis being the AFL wartime commissioner. I stil think its Rams and either raiders or chargers. I think its the rams first. Raiders follow later and it happens because estate taxes catch up to the davis family who dont have the wealth to take that hit the way the kraft, Mara, or ford families do.

I'm rooting for the Chargers to stay and the Rams/Raiders to move. Bay Area don't care about the Raiders, St. Louis is oversaturated with 3 teams and only 2.9M people and NOT growing. Cardinals get ALL the attention. It's also a TERIBLE waste of money to replace the only 20 years old Edward Jones Dome. I'm not against public money for stadiums/arenas IF it's a sane deal but what's going on there with the Rams isn't sane, it's a joke. I love NFL but even if I lived in St. Louis and was a Rams fan I'd want the politicians to tell the Rams to get lost. At least with San Diego your replacing a very old stadium and it won't cost any NEW taxes, just giving away valuable land.

Would love to see Rams and Raiders as well, St louis isnt a football town. IF you cant support nfl football, you really dont deserve it because its so easy to support.
I still the chargers have a chance to relocate though because the nfl may let the raiders and rams take LA before san diego is finished if they have another spot for them (and its not london)

^ But where do they go? Once LA has two teams is there really anywhere in the United States that would support an NFL team?

^ But is that feasable? I'm not aware of a suitable stadium or owner willing to put a team in Texas.

NFL suspension of Ray Rice and their justification for it made about as much sense as explaining that naming a team after a persons skin isnt racist.
They really are stepping in it recently.

not to mention the michael sam tony dungy situation.
Tony Dungy spoke the truth that most coaches dont want oprah and GLAAD following their practices for a player that is barely good enough to play in the nfl. but Dungy who is a sanctimonious overly religious ass just proved it.

I still the chargers have a chance to relocate though because the nfl may let the raiders and rams take LA before san diego is finished if they have another spot for them (and its not london) NFL is going to make Raiders/Rams wait until San Diego is resolved. That's why Kraft made the LA in 3 years comment. Don't count London out!!! NFL may take the attitude of if it works great we have a city of 15M people under our belt, if it don't we lose nothing(assuming they play at Wimbley). If it don't work it's not like there is a stadium that needs "saving".

Reason Goodall did this was to set lighter precident. That way when he goes soft of the Colts owner Irsay the players can't say why are you tough on us and soft on the owners when they screw up.
