Well fuck you too Spanos. Who you rooting for now Clipper Nation?

[monosylab1k]

:lol LA barely gave a shit about one bad NFL team, how will they care about two? Along with USC getting back to near the top, moving to LA will be a disaster. How long before one of these teams jumps to another city?

No way the NFL bails them out, especially with the new multi-billion dollar stadium under construction. They made their bed, now they have to lie in it.

[Fabbs]

smh so as the Raiders to Vegas gets nearer to a deal, thereby appearing the Chargers were the sole LA 2nd Player thus no longer under a "Jan 17th this year or else" timeframe....they pick farking now to bail on San Diego.

[spurraider21]

:lol Clipper Nation

[Avante]

Really hard to believe ANYONE ANYTHING gives up what might be the greatest place to live in the USA for a dump like LA. I've lived in San Diego (North Park) in a word.....fantastic. Been all over LA and it totally sucks.

Once took a 747 from San Diego to LAX, the closer we got the worst the smog got.

[Quadzilla99]

Rivers isn't going there supposedly

:lol This is going to be the biggest disaster in NFL history.

:lol This is going to be the biggest disaster in NFL history.

How could anything having to do with the lowly Chargers make that kind of impact on the history of the NFL? They are one of those....never won a Superbowl....teams.

The AFL Jets beating the mighty NFL Colts was a pretty important disaster.

[Clipper Nation]

Shut the fuck up, you insufferable old faggot. Ripping three teams (including the Raiders) from their cities in the span of a year, at a time when the NFL already has a PR crisis, is a disaster. Moving yet another team to LA when the team that's already there is struggling to maintain a fanbase is a disaster. The Chargers moving to a city that doesn't want them and leaving behind a city full of pissed-off people who will never again root for a Spanos-owned team is a disaster. The Chargers being unable to fill the dinky little StubHub Center will be the cherry on top of the shit sundae. The LA experiment will be a legendary failure that will be talked about for decades to come.

Stupid, you said....biggest disaster in NFL history....right ya little punk? Well it won't be, ok ya sorry sack of shit. So...WRONG...as usual. And what do the Rams and Raiders have to do with the Chargers, yep....NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid, do you really think the NFC cares, or anyone outside southern Cali?

Chicago Cardinals, then St. Louis Cardinals, then Arizona Cardinals, how did that turn out?

Dallas Texans becoming the Kansas City Chiefs.

Houston Oilers becoming the Tennessee Titans.

LA Chargers, becoming the San Diego Chargers.

Oakland Raiders, LA Raiders, Oakland Raiders.

How in the hell did the NFL survive all, that, hahahaha~~~~

Tonawanda Kardex

Kansas City Cowboys
Pottsville Maroons

Moving a team from San Diego to LA, is nothing.

[Avante]

Curious about what the new name will be.

[Thebesteva]

Pretty happy about this move since I get to see the Broncos once a year now in Los Angeles. Hopefully these two teams meet for the playoffs someday

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Clipper Nation's teams will both be LAC now!

The NFL is doomed, the Chargers are now in LA. WHERE THEY STARTED OUT.

How in the hell did the NFL even make it while the Chargers were in the old AFL?


The 1960 (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/1960_AFL_season) Los Angeles Chargers (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Los_Angeles_Chargers) season was the team's inaugural season, also the first season of the American Football League (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/American_Football_League). Head coach Sid Gillman (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Sid_Gillman) led the Chargers to the AFL Western Division title with a 10–4 record, in the team's only season in Los Angeles, with its home field at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Los_Angeles_Memorial_Coliseum).[1] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-srschclw-1)[2] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-bgtest-2)
The season concluded with the AFL championship game (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/1960_American_Football_League_Championship_Game) against the Houston Oilers (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/1960_Houston_Oilers_season) (10–4) of the Eastern Division, held at Jeppesen Stadium (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Jeppesen_Stadium) in Houston (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Houston) on New Year's Day. The teams had split their two games in the regular season, with the home teams winning, and the host Oilers were 6 1/2-point favorites to win the title.[3] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-srochtwn-3) Down by a point after three quarters, the Chargers gave up an 88-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter and lost, 24–16.[4] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-bpotat-4)[5] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-ergoslpa-5)
Initially denied in December,[6] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-hwopaft-6) but announced in late January, owner Barron Hilton (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Barron_Hilton) relocated the Chargers down the coast to a soon-to-be expanded Balboa Stadium (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Balboa_Stadium) in San Diego (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/San_Diego) for the 1961 (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/1961_San_Diego_Chargers_season) season.[7] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-lsuisd-7)[8] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-srcms-8)[9] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-cgtosderg-9)

b) Now ex San Charger fans driving up to L.A.

[monosylab1k]

Apparently they plan to completely rebrand the team in LA. New name and everything. Good move tbh, let San Diego at least keep the Chargers as their own even if the team is gone.

[MultiTroll]

One of the logical conclusions i have heard is that the Scammos family plan is to sell the team X years from now when the valuation of team (in LA vs San Diego) is greater. Thus they have next to zero interest in filling seats in LA nor winning.

[baseline bum]

I'm surprised the owners would be for this. The go to move to extort taxpayers into building you a stadium is threatening to go to LA.

Nope.
LA Chargers. Already on their official site and they already have a new logo. Basically exactly like the LA Dodger logo with a lighting bolt on the bottom.

In a way they will be getting a new fancy stadium now.

There are a TON of HS's in the LA area that play football on a Friday night. There are probably 30 JC's, LA State, UCSB, Long Beach State, USC, UCLA, playing on Saturdays. Then we have the NFL Rams.

I live in central Cali, I've never seen a Charger fan. Talking the bumper sticker, ball cap, gear. Lot's of Raiders, Niners, and Cowboys fans.

Look at a map of Cali, SOCAL is a small area if compared to state size. Most the state couldn't care less about the Chargers.


Now the Fresno Chargers, that would work. Tons of NFL fans from Modesto to Bakersfield. Tons of towns in this region of Cali. Any NFL franchise would work.

Nope.
LA Chargers. Already on their official site and they already have a new logo. Basically exactly like the LA Dodger logo with a lighting bolt on the bottom.

I don't think NFL rules will allow for a rebrand right away. They'll probably have to operate as the Chargers for a year or two before they can change, like Tennessee did with the Oilers.

There was an article of fans who would traverse from Tijuana to watch Chargers' games. Now, they won't have that ability.

It would take about three hours to drive from San Diego to LA. Could probably be done in two if a bet. I am taking into consideration game day traffic, terrible traffic. So we are talking around 6-7 hours on the road fighting that LA traffic.

While some might give it a shot a couple times, I see it too big a hassle to make it something they really need to do. That LA traffic has to be experienced to be believed.

If the team isn't selling tickets nor has a future in the immediate future, just being in the market, that they split mind you, isn't going to double or triple the valuation. Throw in the re-branding and that sounds like a stupid plan. You don't put your used car up for sale without a detail job, you don't put your home on the market voluntarily with it being a dilapidated shit hole. You don't bomb a franchise and think moving to a large market that is not conducive to football throughout its history and think everything is coming up Milhouse that easily.

Sounds crazy but it is true.
The value of the team will go up. Just by being in LA.
Using your example, take a shit hole house in Hickville, USA. Transfer that exact same house to LA. It just went up in value.

I don't have the article in front of me but the value of the team is going to go up a lot in LA, regardless of the Scammos suckage. I continue to agree with the thought that they are looking at selling it some years from now and making a boatload.

Playing a game over there is totally different than having to live over there. Taking the kids to London, when you could go to a team closer to home? Who is doing this?

And.......a team in a country where nobody there has really played the game, hmmmmm?

And......how many rookies are going to want to stay in a foreign countrty far far away from family? Once their first contract is up.....see ya.

From London to Seattle, LA, SF, Denver, Arizona? Hell, those teams flying to London? How many times zones is that?

Like I said....central Cali would support an NFL team. Tons of wealthy people live in the farming capital of the world.

[Avante]

Most NFL fans here in the USA have sons who played, brothers, fathers, they played. Thanks to HS, college football. There has always been something to do with football around. Not so in London, Australia, etc. To them it's a novelty, a circus, something different that just drops in. So there isn't that long love affair with a game they have had some contact with for forever. How long before the novelty wears off?

I started playing football as a little kid, loved it. Steet ball***, backyard ball, at recess, high school football, played in the navy, played 15 years in the city flag league. Have read all the books, have read the magazines. Can talk CFL, USFL, WFL, all NCAA divisions, the old AFL, NFL. Love football.

How can the Brits, Aussies whoever without the football experience really have the same level of fondness for a game they have never played? Never read about in the paper, never followed at school? Just last night on the TV, three HS games****, Morgan State vs South Carolina State, Memphis vs UConn, Boise State vs BYU, today a TON of college games, tomorrow the NFL, I could watch 10 games in three days, this is football in the USA. Not London, etc.

*** we'd all get extension cords and lamps and play in the dark until some neighbor started complaing about the noise. If the kid who owned the ball took it and left we'd play with rolled up t-shirts. This never happened in London, Aussie, etc.

**** one HS game was 65 63, we had a QB who passed for 8TD;s and over 500 yards, the other QB passed for over 400 yards, we had a RB gain over 200 yards and another over 100, we had 4 receivers with over 100 yards. Amazing game to watch if ya like offense.

Playing a game over there is totally different than having to live over there. Taking the kids to London, when you could go to a team closer to home? Who is doing this?

And.......a team in a country where nobody there has really played the game, hmmmmm?

And......how many rookies are going to want to stay in a foreign countrty far far away from family? Once their first contract is up.....see ya.

From London to Seattle, LA, SF, Denver, Arizona? Hell, those teams flying to London? How many times zones is that?

Like I said....central Cali would support an NFL team. Tons of wealthy people live in the farming capital of the world.
I agree the logistics of the NFL season would not support a London team. Even if they were put in the NFC East, say, putting the Cowboys in the AFC West, traveling back and forth to NYC, PHI, WAS every year wouldn't be exactly fun either.

San Antonio Chargers, tbh. Would make sense because when I was in HS in San Antonio everyone was obsessed over phone "chargers".

League got it backwards with the Raiders and Chargers. Raiders should have moved to LA with the Chargers in Las Vegas. Raiders are still the most popular team in LA.

Exactly. I thought Rams and Raiders was the right call to begin with, but it would make it hard on the media who needs two or three letter abbreviations for teams when telecasting games.

Right now you have a transient team that next to nobody cares about in the Chargers. That's a problem.

:lol On Thursday morning, San Diego police said they had officers posted at Spanos’ La Jolla home and at Chargers’ headquarters overnight as a precaution.

:lol Raider fans are thugs but you laugh about this. You thug.

No, the Chargers should have stayed in San Diego and the league should have forced the Spanos family to sell the team.
