Dean Spanos forced to sell Chargers?
This is amazing.
Imagine owning a company that prints money for every other owner, in a stadium you didn't even build and still you bounce charity checks. Watch Jeff Bezos buy this team and move it back to San Diego where he doesn't have to rent out a stadium to a competitor. This is all over the radio in LA right now.

My only argument is Steve Ballmer. When Ballmer bought the Clippers, he was (and still is) the richest owner in the world. The NFL has a solid salary cap, and long-standing TV contracts. I just don’t see why Bezos would be able to intimidate anyone into bowing down to his authority, unless you mean some behind the scenes stuff.

I still think the best use of the Vegas stadium is to not have a specific team affiliated with it; use it as the weekly Sunday night venue. Stuff Spanos in a cannon and shoot his ass into a brick wall, return the Chargers to San Diego under new ownership, and the Raiders to slums of Oakland where they belong. The league makes enough money to foot the cost of a new stadium in San Diego as an apology for ****ing over the fan base.
Of course, none of this will ever happen. |

They can move here and play in Sporting Park. They're used to a stadium of that size.

You can't do Canada or London. Players are not going to do that.

I can't think of a single good reason the Rams would let them out of that deal.
It's extra money for them and the Chargers are 0 threat to their market. LA is going to have 2 teams for a long while. |

Only reason would be if the St. Louis lawsuit is worse and they can make a compromise by sending the Chargers to St. Louis

I thought the St. Louis dome was in bad shape and needed to be torn down/replaced
