Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Disgraceful. 1 season in LA, then 50 years straight to date down the coast in San Diego. Not the first time, and it won't be the last; but to rob a community of it's franchise for the sake of the mighty dollar is utterly disgraceful. Hail.

bird_1972 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Honestly, they should just move the Jaguars there. AND (to depart from recent sports trends) they should give them a cool retro uni and colors. Not that crap teal with stripes and screaming panthers all over it.

BeachSkin Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Jackonville is actually doing a decent job supporting the Jags this year. I don't believe they've had any blackouts. I can think of a couple of teams to move before the Jaguars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLongshot Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Like the Bills, maybe. Bills fans are very devoted. It is the Bills that haven't supported their fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Bills fans are very devoted. It is the Bills that haven't supported their fans. Like Jason said, Buffalo LIVES for it's football team. It's the organization up there that's the disgrace because they aren't in a major market and want to move to one were the TV bucks are higher. There's way better examples of team's you could move before Buffalo. (Not that I'm a fan of any city loosing a franchise, by ya' know.). Hail.

Timmy Smith Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Call them the California Chargers, with 4 home games in LA and 4 in San Diego? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefood Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Yeah, 'cause L.A. sure loves pro football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptr77 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I don't think it matters where the chargers play honestly. That fanbase isn't exactly diehard. That Raiders game was basically a home game for the Raiders, add in the blackouts, and the military in the area and its not much of a homefield advantage. They rarely fill that stadium and because so much of their population is from other parts of the country, you get a lot of fairweather fans or fans cheering for the opposition. Some team should move to LA, its good for business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Southern California doesn't care about pro football. Hell USC pays their players they're pretty much a pro team anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 LA is going to get a pro team, maybe two- whether they care or not. Teams with stadium issues: 1. Chargers 2. Raiders 3. 49ers 4. Vikings- their lease expires after 2011 season. Other teams with issues: 1. Bills- great fanbase but the market is small and once Ralph Wilson is dead, this team is up for sale. 2. Jags- Never should've been given a franchise. Odds are at least half of those 6 franchise could move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Once Ralph Wilson dies, I think they'll be in better shape with a new owner. Never understood Jax getting a team when Baltimore and St. Louis were better cities. I don't think the Niners will leave SF. Wouldn't put it past the Chargers to go back to LA or Al Davis to go back to LA. I like the "Oakland" Raiders better. Sounds old school. I doubt the Vikings leave. Los Angeles Vikings? Bleh.
