I hope your town holds onto the chargers, as I don't think they'd be a good match for LA. sorry, but I get the feeling that if they were in LA, many ppl here would treat them like tired, old, used clothes. plus, it would be ridiculous after all these yrs for socal----from oxnard-santa barbara all the way down to the mexican border----to still end up represented by no more than one team.
the best option would be for the rams to return to LA. but you're wrong about its current owner. Someone told me he is a devout "homer" for the midwestern US, & has a strong sense of loyalty to the ppl he helped bring the rams to in the first place. I hope $$ will change his need to be a cheerleader for missouri, but who knows.
btw, I'm a football widow right now, as my SO is watching the chargers in the other room. He just told me they're leading denver, so that should make you charger fans happy.
