The chargers won. The broncos lost. And the raiders lost. At least if they're going out. Its on a damn good week.
Wouldn't you still be a fan of the Los Angeles Chargers?

Fuck you

Thanks for the memories lads
>>64371162
It'd be a stadium of Raiders fans when the Raiders aren't even there. I wouldn't want any team put through that except the Raiders. A stadium full of people watching in hopes the home team loses. Fuck LA
Thank you Chargers for all the memories over the years. I've been a fan since I was a kid, my Dad was a fan too.
I'm sad because other than Gates, Rivers, Weddle and Floyd no one on that team or coaching staff was a part of the good days here.
I was there the night before they went to the Super Bowl at the Q, when Bobby Ross gave his speach, the whole city seemed to be there, it was so loud that the Stadium shook and as a kid I thought the place was going to crumble.
Even after they lost, we still gave them a parade.
I was there for LT era too, with Marty Ball and everything that went with it. You couldn't go anywhere in this county without seeing Chargers gear everywhere you went.
Thank you again Chargers, any other fans should say there favorite memories, players etc.
The funny part is Los Angeles fans don't even want the Chargers. They're the third favorite choice but the most likely one that'll move after reading the news
I'm glad my teams fanbase actually give a fuck
Stop acting like LA is going to take your dumpster fire of a franchise. We want the Rams.
>>64371242

NFL IS COMING TO TORONTO AFTER L.A I TELL YA
>>64371263
Doesn't matter what you want. Chargers are the favorite to leave with Rams 2nd. Raiders aren't going. Maybe LA will get the Chargers and Rams together
Do we even know yet if they're going to L.A.? I guarantee you it doesn't happen.
>>64371285
Nope, NFL and CFL have an agreement and buffalo's new ownership isn't going anywhere.
>>64371296
Rams are moving to Inglewood, Raiders are moving to St Louis, Chargers are staying in SD where they'll rot.
>>64371307
Each and every day we don't break ground on a new stadium here, the likelyhood of them staying decreases. We are in dire straights now
>>64371319
Listen here fuckboy. if the fucking nfl has plans to fucking expand into the U.K They WILL eventually move to fucking toronto"

>>64371347
>Raiders are moving to St Louis
Unlikely, Mark Davis doesn't want to go to St. Louis, like even if he doesn't stay in Oakland and doesn't move to L.A. he's already ruled out St. Louis.
The NFL meanwhile wants the Raiders to share a stadium with the 49ers.
>>64371428
OK then there is no evidence of this deal existing
Rams and Chargers will both move to Los Angeles
Raiders will share a stadium with the 49ers at Santa Clara but probably continue to call themselves Oakland Raiders.
Sorry, bros.
If the Carson plan fails (spoiler: it will) the Raiders are either going to sign year-to-year leases in O.co or be forced to bunk with the nanners. There's no way Mark Davis goes to Inglewood with the Rams.
>>64371473
Someone better tell the folks in St. Loius that just got the OK to build a new football stadium.
>>64371523
Not to mention the 300million the NFL just gave the city.
>>64371523
Doesn't matter, ownership is already dead set on moving back to Los Angles
Buncos here. Thanks for the memories.
>>64371538
>>64371523
The NFL didn't agree to that funding plan.
The NFL said they were only going to pitch in $200 million and that St. Louis kind of pissed them off by approving $300 million so that may have set their plan back.
Not to mention that the plan isn't binding in any way at this point.
And there's no way they're getting Kroenke to agree to provide any funding for their stadium project.
my soul burns
If it makes you Chargers fans feel any better, LA won't give a shit about a NFL team and they'll be back in Sandy Eggo in a decade or less
I don't know why anyone thinks that possibly moving multiple teams to a city that already ran two of them out of town was a good idea

>>64371768
Yup. The NFL acts like they make zero profits
>>64371699
Detroit is two hours from Canada too, you don't think it makes a difference if they were to move there?
>>64371691
LA might care about an NFL team, they supported the Rams and Raiders pretty well back when they had both.
But the Rams owner sabotaged the team in LA so she could move them to her home town of St. Louis and Al Davis left LA for the same reason he left Oakland, to chase a stadium deal that never materialized. It had nothing to do with the market.
That said, the Chargers are never going to be LA's team. If the Raiders or the Rams move back, they own that market. If the Chargers move by themselves then the city will just continue not caring about professional football.
>>64371788
It wouldn't change anything if the NY Giants moved to Syracuse. They played in New Jersey FFS. New York fans still supported them.
>>64371786

>mfw american teams just move to another part of the country if they think it will bring them more money

Is this why you don't understand football? Because it has things like passion, loyalty, respect for the fans, traditions, and history? Things which Americans can never experience in their meme country.
Have a look at yourselves lads.
>>64371037
And keep giving money to and caring for the girl who stopped caring about you and left you to go ride Angel's brown cpck instead? No thanks senpai. I'm no cuck. Fuck that cunt. If the Chargers leave SD, they're dead to me.

That isn't happening either
>>64371106
maybe the aztecs will finally be relevant
>>64371890
The 49ers stadium was built to accomodate 2 teams.
They don't want the Raiders there and the Raiders don't want to be there but the NFL specified that their stadium be built to eventually house 2 teams.
Pretty obvious what the plan is there.
The Raiders just want no part of it but it's likely going to be where they end up when they fail to get a stadium anywhere else.

>>64371829
As large of a market as LA is you'd think that they could easily support an NFL team, but they never have. Ownership moves aside, the rams never had good fan attendance and their team was average at times but mostly terrible for decades. The Raiders were only popular in LA because of branding, especially with the hip hop crowd. They were good in the early '80s but most of the decade and even the '90s they were terrible. Moving a losing team to LA won't put asses in the seats, LA has proved that.

As a Raidnig that hates the Chargers i got to feel for any city that loses their team in such a shitty way.
We are headed down the same path it seems. Maybe we can feel together for a few seconds
I just hope we can keep the name Chargers and they have to rebrand the team at this point, small victory I know
>>64372271
Why?
The NFL isn't moving back to San Diego if there are already 2 teams in LA.
>>64372271
How did Cleveland do it?
I don't want the Raiders or the Chargers to move. :'-(
>>64372089
I'm not the type of person to reward a lack of loyalty with more of mine. Anons not from So Cal might not understand it, and Los Angelinos might respond with their "We don't care about anyone but LA. Everywhere but LA is irrelevant" meme, but San Diegans have a huge rivalry with LA. We fucking hate the place. The Chargers could have moved anywhere but there and not be as offensive to SD as moving to LA is. Moving the team is a stab in the back of every fan like myself who has stood by the team through thick and thin and been an example of what it means to be a die hard fan. Moving it to LA of all places might as well be them twisting the knife. If they moved somewhere else, I'd consider sticking with them. If they move to LA though? No can do. I have too much self-respect to continue supporting a team owned by a man that didn't appreciate my fandom enough to keep it where it has called home for all but one year of its existence.
How come nobody thinks the Raiders will go? Is it because of how passive the owner is during the whole shabang? After all, we all know LA wants the Raiders more than affordable housing. Whereas the Chargers *do* have something on the table in SD, albeit not as much as they could have.
>>64372637
It's just what the rumors have been saying and the talks about them
Sharing the 49er stadium
>>64372637
Mark Davis is the smallest of the small fries in the NFL. He has no outside income, all his money comes from owning the Raiders.
The NFL doesn't want him to be their representative in the LA market.
Aside from that, the only way the Raiders were going is with a partnership like the one they have with the Chargers.
If the Chargers back out or partner with the Rams then the Raiders can't afford to go to LA.
>mfw the Raidniggers go back to LA
>>64372701
But what about the possibility of a Raiders/Rams shacking up? Then LA would get the only teams they actually care about.
>>64372627
This is what happens when your GM isnt actually a fan of the team and is just trying to make as much money as possible
>>64372637
Because they can't go on their own, Mark is adamant about being in his own stadium, the Carson plan is about as strong as a wet tissue, and Stan is going to move this offseason regardless of what the other owners say.
>>64372757
Personally I wouldn't be too mad with it. Where would the A's go though?
>>64372760
It theoretically could happen but Mark Davis is riding or dying with Spanos.
Spanos doesn't want to shack up with the Rams either but when he eventually comes to the conclusion that the Raiders aren't a viable partner he might dump them for the Rams because at the end of the day he's more cheap than he is prideful.

>>64372637
>Many of the NFL's most influential owners, including some on the league's Los Angeles Relocation committee, continue to have reservations about the Raiders' inclusion in the joint project with the Chargers in Carson, Calif. Their concerns over the strength of the Raiders' ownership group could result in no teams getting approval to move to LA in 2016, ownership sources said. Furthermore, multiple ownership sources said that the odds of a move happening to LA next year would be significantly higher if the Chargers were either moving by themselves, or if they were paired with the Rams.
>Other owners have doubts about whether or not Raiders owner Mark Davis has the acumen to build a strong franchise in a two-team LA market, sources said. And, given that organization's repeated moves under former owner Al Davis and the controversy that ensued -- including suing the league -- there remains a backlash to the Raiders going back to LA.
>Finding a way to get Spanos and Rams owner Stan Kroenke together is viewed as the best-case scenario for a two-team LA market, and although consideration hurdles exist, it may not be impossible if a vote is pushed back to 2017.

>>64373555
>You now remember the 90s where every single Minnesota team attempted to leave
>mfw Spanos actually believes he will have a good team and fanbase in LA
I won't support them if they move. The NFL is going to eventually regret uprooting a 50 year history original AFL team for the chance to make some money in the short term.
San Diego isn't a dead end city like Cleveland or Buffalo, we still have a lot of things to do in our lives in this glorious city.

>Hitting up beach town college parties
>Going to Ensenada

I'm sorry, but did the Chargers already move? Oh, that's right. The season isn't even over yet. In fact, there are two more games. Does leaving San Diego after this game count as a move? Is that what you're saying? Because if you're saying that I can assure you that you're wrong. Why would you make this topic when the season is still on? The Chargers are still playing right now and they have been the best team in the AFC West for how many years now? They're playing one of the worst teams in the NFL who just happen be shit because they're not feeding off the vibrant sexual energy of Philip Rivers. But you know what? They still fucking suck. The Chargers are one of the best fucking teams in the NFL, they went 9-7 last year and would of won the Super Bowl if the entire team didn't choke. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded topics like this. You know why? Because you're going to be embarrassed when the Chargers stay right where they are and someone bumps this topic. Oh look at that, the some wealthy Jewish Banker just broke out his check book whenthey needed to get one, just like the Rams. Are you a fucking drunk? Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a topic on this board again and I'm fucking serious. I almost have a feeling you're the only guy making all these anti-Chargers topics because you're a faggot hater who doesn't like the team because they're good. Fuck you, be good at something in YOUR life and then maybe try to troll these fucking teams on the board, like I give a fuck. It's so easy to spot out your threads now, you're a retard. Always doing stupid shit like this. Why don't you try to be a good poster? Just for once? For once in your fucking life try not to make a topic like this. That's just you, you're always right at getting it wrong. Fuck you. You are nothing.

This is all true for me too except for the family having season tickets since before I was born - we moved to SD in '89, and had season tickets form '91 on. It's tough right now, and has been a tough year. :(
>>64372130
Ticket sales have nothing to do with it. The Chargers - like every single NFL team - are already profitable. Spanos is just greedy and wants more. He should just fucking kill himself. He is ripping the heart out of this town.
I'm a bit uninformed, does Rivers not want to move with the team or something? Or is he retiring?
Where would he play if he leaves them?
>>64376914
He doesn't want to play in LA, and said as much publicly during the offseason. But then he went and signed a big contract extension, so when they move, he'll either play in LA or retire.
>>64374977

How can anyone see a scenario where the Raiders DON'T come home?
>>64372828

Fans in the Dawg Pound became so unruly during their final home game against the Bengals that all offensive plays had to be run from the opposite end of the field. Rows of empty seats were torn from the stadium and thrown on the field. Stalls and sinks in the restrooms were torn from the walls. Several fans set fires in the stands, especially in the "Dawg Pound" section, and assaulted security officials and police officers who tried to quench the growing fires.[112]

San Diego best city.

Dude, Malcolm's send off at the stadium was so bittersweet. I was bummed Rivers didn't give him one last TD when they were in the red zone. Especially since he was wide open in a cross route mid endzone. Would have been as picturesque an end for his career at home as he could have.

>>64383651
>In a letter sent last week to the owners’ committee overseeing the league’s return to the Los Angeles area, the country’s second-largest market, the Chargers’ chairman, Dean Spanos, dismissed an overture by the St. Louis Rams’ owner, E. Stanley Kroenke, who said he was willing to let a second team invest in a rival stadium that he hoped to build in Inglewood, Calif.
>“Nothing in Stan’s letter gives me any reason to reconsider my partnership with Mark Davis and our chosen stadium site,” Mr. Spanos wrote, referring to the owner of the Raiders. “I firmly believe that the proposal we have jointly made is in the best interests of the entire league and is in complete compliance with the league’s relocation policies.”
