Who in their right mind thought that the Clippers would sell for $2 billion? The Clippers were the NBA equivalent to the Chargers. An Also-Ran laughingstock that never won a championship and didn't own or play it their own dedicated facility. While the sale to Ballmer shocked outsiders, NBA owners were absolutely thrilled because the valuation of their teams, especially those in large markets, have risen considerably. Ballmer's announced that he's building a facility exclusively for the Clippers, just across from Kroenke World, which will raise the value of the franchise even further. The NBA just closed a monster television contract, which further ensures that NBA owners have become a "Can't Miss" league on the level of the NFL. |

All kidding aside...the Mexico City Chargers...NFL wants to break into that South of the Border market, and as I recall, the Mexico City games have been well attended. I wouldn't be surprised to see that...

London, Mexico... I think it's BS to ask players to move to a foreign country to play American football

I'd attend that game every single year.

Jerry Jones will never allow another team in Texas. Moving back to SD makes some sense, but there is so much bad blood between the fans and Spanos I don't know that will work. Maybe it is time for the NFL to force a sale.

The bottom line is that Spanos family has no business running an NFL franchise. 98% of their Net Worth is tied to the Chargers, making it impossible for them to build their own facility in ANY state or municipality. Taxpayers in California want nothing to do with subsidizing billionaire football owners.
Kroenke had a cold, calculated plan that began the microsecond he bought into the Rams. His facility will be the NFL's "Mecca" and you can damn sure bet that he won't run the team like he did in St. Louis, which we've already witnessed in hiring McVay, Wade Phillips and so on. The Rams will win and people will attend Kroenke World in droves. If the Rams win in the meantime, more people will attend the Coliseum and he'll have a Win-Win situation until 2020. |
