The Los Angeles Chargers of Santa Ana? Sort of. Team acquires land for training, offices as first st

Yes. Of course USC and UCLA student bodies, alumni, & boosters support their collegiate teams. LA denizens at large treated the Rams like dirt, and will do so again when they move back. Kroenke and the Spanos Organized Crime Family are in it for the cash. A billion+ dollars just isn’t enough for the knotheads. Heck, LA couldn’t support the Raiders, and it has many more silver & black fans than does Oakland. The Chargers haven’t heard booing like they’re going to get when they stink up Los Angeles.

St. Louis and San Diego are good sports cities, with supportive fans. The taxpayers simply object to building lavish athletic facilities for super-wealthy owners. They deserve better treatment by the NFL — Goodell and the owners are a bunch of asshats who have no civic pride or concern for the fans. There is a public trust in owning sports franchises. Wish they all were like Green Bay and owned by the fans.

Coaches move from team to team. Players move from team to team. Teams move from city to city. The only thing that pretty much stays the same are the uniforms.

I think Jerry Seinfeld said it best:

We're rooting for laundry

Even the “laundry” changes. The Chargers original powder blue jerseys are worn only once or so per season, despite the fans overwhelmingly preferring them over the others. It’s more than that, though. I’ve experienced how happy are colleagues at work the day after the Chargers win, and how down is just about everyone when they lose. When / if the Chargers move to LA, they, like the Rams, are going to be treated with ridicule or indifference, no matter if they are the victors or the defeated.

The problem with pro football since the mid 90’s in So California has been politics politics politics and it always has been politics
LA politics is some of the most corrupt in the nation you just don’t know it and it and power play politics that have driven teams out and kept teams out

Agreed.
