January 13, 20179 yr I can't imagine what it would be like to lose your team. If your team moved would you "follow" them to their new city? I couldn't do it. The answer to that is NO. I was a Rams fan. I can't watch them now. No. I hate the the Ravens.
January 13, 20179 yr They had the worst home attendance in the league this season. I don't think stadium capacity is a huge concern for them. Second worse (Oakland) still averaged 57,000 ---At least that is what the NFL posted. 2016 NFL Football Attendance - National Football League - ESPN
January 13, 20179 yr Second worse (Oakland) still averaged 57,000 ---At least that is what the NFL posted. 2016 NFL Football Attendance - National Football League - ESPN I got it from a different source. Either way, bad attendance won't change because it's LA. Ask the Rams.
January 13, 20179 yr Author As has been said numerous times before, owners of sports franchises (especially the big three) don't give a rip about the fan. If they can't get theirs in City A, city B will be glad to welcome them with open wallets. Hopefully this move will open the eyes of the ignorant sport fan that would rather pay more tax money as well as over pay for tickets to see million dollar athletes in a billion dollar stadium than use that money for infrastructure. If a owner said "if you don't raise your taxes to build my enterprise a new stadium, I'm moving cities and you won't be able to be charged $30 to park in a lot your tax dollars helped pay for and you won't be allowed to be denied use of the facility you helped pay for", what would your response be?

I have long said the most greedy people in the world may be the 32 NFL owners. They really know no shame...I pretty much cannot stand them. They screw the players, fans and cities without even giving it a second thought.
January 14, 20179 yr The answer to that is NO. I was a Rams fan. I can't watch them now. I mean, they always belonged to LA, they were just loaned to STL...

January 15, 20179 yr I have family members and quite a few friends that were die-hard Browns fans. Not a single one of them rooted for the Ravens. Now, part of that was probably due to the hatred for Art Modell. I remember going to a Bengals game v. the Ratbirds during the period when the Browns were without a team. We walked across the Suspension Bridge and there was a guy on there selling "Go To Hell, Modell" pins. Loved it.
January 18, 20179 yr San Diego movers refusing to help Chargers move Good for them. However, notice that there are some names missing from that list of movers refusing to help the Chargers ... Atlas, United, Mayflower, Belkin, North American, just to name a few of the largest moving companies in the country. Somehow I don't think this boycott will slow anything down.
