I think this whole thing about various stadiums, football teams, city guvmints, construction, etc. is more about corruption than anything else.

The Chargers will find a way to lose regardless where they play.

In 2013, only one Bolt game was blacked out due to the NFL’s TV sellout policy.

Yet, each week before a home game, the local radio station would beg and plead the listeners to buy tickets.

They should talk to the folks in Atlanta where we’ve become experts at building and blowing up sports venues, so we can build more on the same spots at taxpayer expense. At least it helps bankroll the crooked fatcat politicians.

The NFL should stay out of LA. We already have two fine football teams—the Occidental College Tigers and the USC Trojans.

This is obvious extortion by the owners’ group. Still, if they build a new stadium, I’ll go.

Not having a team in Los Angeles and having every team wanting a stadium threaten to move there has been far more profitable to the NFL than actually having a team there. What city would bend the taxpayers over to pay for a new stadium when a team threatens to move to Portland, Oregon (the next largest metro area without a team nearby)?

They can build their own stadium or get the hell out of town!
