Los Angeles doesn’t need the NFL. We already have two excellent football teams—teh Occidental College Tigers and the USC Trojans.

I don’t think LA will support one football team let alone two of them. They do realize that Mexicans like soccer not feetball.

Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn’t LA tried a couple of pro football teams before and it didn’t work out? Yeah, I thought so.

The Raiders should move to Portland, Oregon.

According to wikipedia, the name “Chargers” was picked by the original owner because he liked the rallying cry “charge!” at Southern Cal games.
But the lightning bolt logo makes you think of an electric charge.
I saw a cover from a 1963 program of a Pats-Charger game in Boston, and it had a picture of a bunch of horses to represent the Chargers, as in “charger” being a knight’s horse.

I am still so far behind in football goings on. I still call the Rams LA, the Colts Baltimore. I am so “with it”! LOL

They do realize that Mexicans [in LA] like soccer not feetball. They do if a Mexican team is playing the US.

According to 1090 Sports radio in San Diego on 12/15/15, the Charger are moving to Los Angeles.
People from other cities now living in Los Angeles will go to a local NFL game in Los Angeles to root for the visiting team.
People in San Diego will grieve like the Brown’s fans and hope the team in Los Angeles picks a new name.
NFL in Los Angeles in not attractive. That is why Roman Gabriel’s Rams left and why the Raiders were here temporarily.
Los Angeles is a baseball city just like St. Louis.

The Chargers have always had the lightning bolt;ergo, they’re called the Bolts. I guess in their early days that name had not been firmly attached.

If so, the NFL better get ready for a massive lawsuit by Stan Kroenke.
And where is the sense in placing two AFC West teams not only in the same city but also in the same stadium? LA football fans will see the Chiefs and Broncos four times a season - twice in the same stadium in LA, and twice in their own stadiums in KC and Denver.
To: Falconspeed
You do know the Raiders had better attendance in LA than in Oakland, right? And Georgia moved the Rams to her native Missouri when St Louis bent over their taxpayers for her.
How long have they had this rule that you need approval by 2/3 of the owners to move your team?
New stadium? Because the Coliseum is way too hot for the current generation of football fans.
