Chargers to announce move to Los Angeles

Two teams in a city that couldn't even support one?

Wow, and San Antonio and Las Vegas are still waiting.

Sad.

Why are they "announcing" ?
I thought SOP for a franchise move was to load the trucks in the middle of the night and hit the highway. Or is that only to and from Baltimore?

I think LA could've supported one team but not two. The Raiders moved the same season as the Rams. That was probably one of the dumbest decisions Al Davis ever made. And he made a lot of dumb decisions.

I agree. What if the Raiders had stayed in LA back in mid 90's? They might have won a title or two with better FA's coming to LA. Rams might have stayed in St Louis and Chargers for sure would stay in San Diego. And Ice Cub and Dre would still be recording together. Damn.

It can happen to every NFL city except Green Bay.

2 teams in LA?

I guess its all down to $$$$$$$$$$$$$ and new stadiums.

I feel really sorry for the Chargers fans, their team (I think) has been there since 1961 and now its gone, what a shame after they have supported that team for all of those years and then its just taken away from them.
