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.

No one wanted the Raiders in Los Angeles. Not the mayor, not the business owners, not the police - no one, outside of maybe their core fans from the early 80's.

Plus, their fans could barely fill 35,000 cheap seats in Oakland and they're not the type of fans that could afford $5k lower level seats each week, let alone, the licensing fees.

I hope the Chargers stay in LA so we can keep getting an extra home every year out there. The only thing that would be better is if they moved to St Louis.

His ownership would overshadow the other 31 owners, something their egos just could not handle.
Paul Allen bought the Seahawks for just $194 million at the time. He was a multi-billionaire that had revenues that dwarfed the NFL at the time he purchased, just like Jeff Bezos would now. I don't particularly like Bezos and agree with you that he wouldn't be good for the NFL, but they are not polar opposites.

I know people who own property in Inglewood that had legitimate fears their property values would go down if the Raiders moved there.

I don’t think LA should have gotten two teams again... it should have been just the Rams, but the Raiders would have been a better option there than the Chargers.

At least the Raiders have a fanbase there.

Where would you put the Chargers then? Spanos pretty much torpedoed them staying in San Diego. Jerry wouldn't want a team in the Austin-San Antonio area. Raleigh-Durham would fit but it would require division shuffling.

Like Dane said, nobody wanted the Raiders back. We have enough stabbings at Dodger Stadium as is.

St. Louis is actually the best and biggest available market. The only major downside is it now considered the Chiefs market. KC and STL together gives the Chiefs a top 10 tv market.

Jeff Bezos' ex will buy the Chargers out of spite and try to run them into the ground by hiring Ted Lasso who inexplicably keeps winning

Allen was a very quiet, behind the scenes owner, something that would be impossible for Bezos.

But agree to disagree, even though I'm right and you're wrong.

Give a franchise back to St. Louis. Would be hella fun to have an in-state division rival.

Other possibilities: A second Chicago team, Oakland (lulz), or Toronto.

The whole LA thing was bizarre from the beginning. We went from decades of having zero franchises in the area, which followed with it a perceived lack of demand from the citizens in the area. Now all of a sudden we have two freakin teams in a city with supposed lackluster NFL fan support.

But in any case, yeah, Dean Spanos was an asshole for forcing his way to LA. Any idiot could have known they wouldn't get fans.

Agreed. It should have been the Rams and the Rams only.

The Raiders would have been a better option in terms of fans at the stadium but no one else wanted them in town, especially when their first several seasons were played at the Coliseum, which is an area that's already dangerous enough.

The city of San Diego was willing to build a new stadium on the same site as the Murph but the Spanos family wanted it downtown or nothing. The people of San Diego voted down a proposition to fund a new downtown stadium via a car rental and hotel tax. But due to the fact that tourism is their #1 revenue generator, they were afraid that higher taxes would force some people to go elsewhere while vacationing.

The Spanos family's net worth is tied up in the Chargers. They don't have a dime to pay for a stadium so much like Mark Davis, they're at the mercy of people who will build a stadium for them.

Both owners should have been booted before these moves were made, IMO, because they're unsustainable.
