Texas has 2 NFL teams already. Florida has 3, California has 3, but none in Los Angeles. That’s where the next expansion team will be...........
They should apologize for calling themselves the Redskins, move LA and change their name to the Wetbacks.

It almost was, back when the Texans were organized. Houston city bonzes were hot to trot and ready to go ..... the NFL was waiting for an LA group to get their poop in a group and named a figure of $750,000,000 as their "franchise fee" (go-away money, get-lost offer) that they wanted from Houston to let the franchise go there instead of LA, which they really coveted for its lush advert demographics and numbers.
Surprisingly, the Texans bunch came up with the $750 mill, and after some dawdling and dallying waiting on the LA group, the NFL very reluctantly awarded the franchise to Houston ...... which was, after all, merely the FOURTH largest city in the US with only about 4,000,000 people in its SMSA.
If LA gets an NFL franchise someday, the Angelenos should name the team "the Oaxacans" or just "the Mexicans" to reflect the demo the NFL will really have bought. They'll wish they'd dumped American football for soccer, so they could milk those Mexifornians, and keep American football up north in the Bay Area.
