That is NOT the history of NFL (not) in L.A. The ONLY thing L.A. has ever done right was to ask the NFL how much it will pay L.A. to place a team there.
The State isn’t involved at all.
This is blackmail of SD by the Chargers. Expect it to work.
This relocation will not work.
All I am saying is that if a team wants something financial from the public, then the public should receive an equity interest in the team. In other words, I don’t believe in welfare for billionaires. I know that there are some people who believe that government’s most important function is to assist the wealthy, but I don’t view government that way. If the price is right, I have no problem with the state purchasing an equity interest that will return a profit.
