Los Angeles looks like a dry market

I said previously... that there are many problems with moving a team to LA with 3 teams in the state as it is. I feel being a fan just doesn't happen over night. Moving the Raiders mad no sense to me but powers that be saw a chance to increase the fan base... keeping its Raider nation and building those LA fans as well, just didn't happen that way. I don't think there was an increase in fan base because you're either a raider fan or you're not in CA. Oakland is a distance from LA but not that much to make a difference. Lets say you moved a team from Jacksonville or Min even yeah that may have a better chance at success. Don't think that just because two teams left there means they failed. There are factors that made it less attractive to be there is all.

Moving a team like the Raiders who are embedded with the city and its fan base was just a stupid move. Its kind of like the Browns moving to Baltimore, Browns so embedded not only with the fans there but its fans everywheres, outcry brought the Browns back...
