IMO,  re-branding would be the best course of action in Los Angeles.   They will start out with a huge disadvantage if they remain the Chargers.

Out of interest, why would they be at a disadvantage?... Perhaps I'm missing something? (I'm currently on heavy pain medications so excuse me if I'm asking an obvious question).

80% of what I talk about is nonesense.. the other 25% is made up statistics...

Lots of antipathy towards the Chargers in L.A.


The Bolts are originally from there and they moved. Over the years, especially when the Raiders were there, a rivalry developed.

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Ah I see, thanks!

They have one of the coolest uniforms and brands in the NFL. That'd be sad to see.

No commercial messages in sigs

Yeah, I'd hate to see that brand go away. Certain brands are really cool and I hate to see them disappear - like the Oilers.

Hard to believe the greed of the NFL could force a team out of a city as beautiful as San Diego.

 

Jags to San Diego talk will kick up sooner than later.

It's more than simple "greed". The city of San Diego is massively inept and has done nothing for the team other than letting them play there. Their stadium is way outdated and has been for a while now.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

Where is the NFL fake study about the San Diego market?  The league is interfering with the Raiders and Oakland, why won't they cough up some assistance in a better city?  Goddell must hate Navy towns.

Birth of the Franchise - November 30, 1993
Death of the Franchise - November 29, 2011

Fans deserve better. Thanks for all the good times too many are in the past.

I was surprised the voters didn't approve an increased hotel tax to help fund the new stadium. It would have been no skin off the tax payers back. I think people are just tired of being bullied by the NFL.

  In addition to the rivalry with the Raiders,   I think a significant reason for the antipathy by many NFL fans in L.A. towards the Chargers is during the 21 seasons w/o the NFL having a team in the Los Angeles area,   the area became a Secondary Market for the Chargers.   For those that didn't have NFL Sunday Ticket and preferred to watch NFL games at home instead of a sports bar,   they missed out on some prime games when the Chargers were playing on the road.    This on top of the natural rivalry that Los Angeles and San Diego have.

  The ideal situation would be that San Diego would keep the team nickname,  colors,  and history for a future NFL franchise in San Diego.  Much like was the case with the Browns after they left Cleveland following the 1995 season.

---

   It was disappointing to see the Oilers disappear.   I much rather have seen the 2002 expansion franchise in Houston become the new Oilers,  with the franchise being able to keep the team history.   The team history is now in Tennessee,  which makes no sense from my perspective.

NFL Sunday Ticket is not necessary to watch prime time games. I used to have it.

 

Antipathy toward the Chargers probably has something to do with how bad they have been since their 14-2 season.

  One thing we have seen as evidenced in what transpired with the NFL allowing the Rams to leave St. Louis is the NFL makes up and changes the rules/ guidelines of relocation as they go along.

NFL rules state an unresolved stadium issue is required for a team to move. The Rams had that, but only because their greedy owner was dead set on moving no matter what. Any competent owner would have accepted the stadium plan to stay in St. Louis.

  There's a difference in many cases between prime games and prime time games.   An example of a prime AFC game on Sunday Afternoon is when the Patriots have played the Steelers in the last 15 years.

 

  In terms of the Chargers declining substantially since their 14-2 season,  the antipathy seems like a much bigger factor in the San Diego area than it would be in Los Angeles.   Most NFL fans in the L.A. area could care less about the Chargers or in the case of Raiders,  Broncos,  and Chiefs fans in L.A.,  root against the Chargers.

 That's only one part of what was suppose to be needed for a team to be able to move.   Though Stan Kroenke and Kevin Demoff deserve to be ripped to pieces for orchestrating the Rams move out of St. Louis to Los Angeles,   the NFL deserves massive criticism in their own right.    It also set a bad precedent.

Oops, I misinterpreted your statement. Of course people would root against the Chargers in LA because the Raiders were there.

 Dean Spanos mentioned that if the proposal would have received at least 50 % of the vote instead of just 43 %,  he would feel differently about the Chargers situation.   Whether that's truly the case is anyone's guess.
