I remember when Los Angeles was looking into a team (the team went to Houston and cost that lovely city $2 billion in public funds)

Why are so many California freepers totally full of baloney when it comes to Texas? Houston did spend too much on on the Texans' stadium (and related infrastructure, which also support the next door exhibit halls and rodeo and see year-round use), but it was nowhere near $2 billion. More like 1/10th of that. Wild exaggeration simply torpodoes one's credibility.

Team was 1.1 Billion, Stadium was apx 300 million.

When you add up ancillary costs you get near 2 billion.

And you are welcome to them (the Texans).

When the NFL pays us enough, we'll allow them to have a team here. We don't need one to feel good about ourselves. In a sense, LA fans are the most devastating: If our teams don't win, WE DON'T CARE.

The opposite of Love is NOT hate. It is disinterest.
