Owners of several West Coast franchises have no shame in their seeking of new stadiums that they want tax payers to foot the bill. The people of San Diego and Oakland have basically told the Raiders and Chargers organization to go to hell and pay for their new stadiums with the immense profits television gives to their ridiculous sport. The Chargers and Raiders are partnering with some development company that has big bucks planned to local Carson California officials for free land somewhere that both teams can share a brand new stadium in the Los Angeles area. This is addiction to plans from St Louis Rams owners to move to team to Los Angeles as well after failing to get the residents of St Louis to give these wealthy individuals tax breaks and a free stadium. Don't know if these idiots realize that the city of Los Angeles is a Mexican city and there is a reason that the NFL has been out of this market since the mid eighties. Soccer is way more popular in this city than American football that is increasingly becoming more of a East and Southern sport. He fact that some wealthy Anglos in California along with their construction buddies want to bring football and new projects at tax payer expense is irrelevant and there needs to be immediate pushback from this continuing scam of billionaires building these temples to themselves and their expected advertising dollar projections they called count of from corporate America. There is also the belief that there is an incredible number of wealthy people willing to pay for a lifetime license and a seat and be there every Sunday despite the numerous alternatives for entertainment in LA. The fact that these idiots want to build a stadium in sprawling Carson California that is twenty miles outside the Los Angles city limits with the addition of possibility a third team in this market will spell doom for all three in the long term. All this talk which might be bullshit and are the result of years of the Chargers and Raiders trying to attenuate resistance in these progressive cities of Oakland and San Diego from giving handouts to billionaires. these handouts are sought so they can make more billions and pay athletes and coaches big bucks into the sporting corporate complex that rewards this nonsense while other Americans see wages cuts and lifestyles fall.
