I guess Kaepernick is getting what he wanted, the NFL headed for massive cash loses.
USC TEXASS was a great game... too bad I couldnt watch it all... way too late on East Coast...
I wish the NFL had stayed out of Los Angeles. LA already has two great teams—the Occidental College Tigers and the USC Trojans.
I’ve been to both a Raiders game and a USC game in the Coliseum. USC games there wasn’t an empty seat in the place and it holds 90,000+. I’ve seen more people at a HS Football game than would attend Raiders games in LA. The Raiders hosted the AFC Championship in the early 80’s and it was blacked out in LA because it didn’t sell out. People in LA won’t attend NFL games. Never have and likely never will.
NFL=Unamerican
Let’s have more spoiled overpaid jerks dissing the American
flag.....that’ll put butts in the bleachers???? sarc/on
A lot is being made of the poor attendance for LA’s newest team but do not forget, the reason the Chargers moved to LA was NOT to sell more seats. It was to be in one of America’s largest media markets and reap the financial benefits thereof. The real measure of success would be the number of people tuned into the game.
And most of the people in attendance at the Rams and Chargers games were fans of the visiting teams.
I’d rather watch a high school football game in Vermont (ranked last in high school football, California, Texas and Florida are 1-2-3), then most NFL games. On my bucket list is one football related item - to see a Packers home game at ‘The Frozen Tundra’ (Lambeau).
