NFL reportedly considering moving Chargers back to San Diego

[polamalubeast]

Could the NFL really send the Chargers back to San Diego? It's something being discussed, according to longtime NFL reporter Don Banks.

The former Sports Illustrated reporter, who has worked for NFL Media and currently writes for The Athletic, told a San Diego radio station on Thursday the NFL never wanted to lose San Diego as a market and could force Chargers owner Dean Spanos to take the team back.

"I have been painted a picture from people I’ve talked to that the league was sympathetic … to Dean Spanos’ plight," Banks told The Mighty 1090. "Feels like he had been a ‘league guy’ feels like he had waited kind of his turn on the relocation front, thought he had the votes the year before — Jerry Jones and Stan Kroenke pretty much outmaneuvered Dean and Mark Davis with the Raiders to be the first in line for LA. So it was almost as if this was a bit of a make up.

I do not know if it's credible but if it's true .... WOW!

Can't make this stuff up

[DesertSteel]

Sounds like fake news... but it'd be better for the Chargers and the league. LA is a dead market for football.

To bad the league is more concerned with creating Drama than improving the game from it's current condition.

I think I should work for the NFL...i must be super smart, I said they shouldn’t move out of San Diego...hmmmm.

Lol.

Seriously...who didn’t see this one coming???

I can't believe there was shock and awe at a low attendance. I went to see the Steelers play the Rams in St.Louis. Tickets, hotel, travel expenses, came to around $800. If it were being played at a 30k seat soccer stadium instead of an NFL stadium, I would have felt ripped off. Probably would not have gone if I knew this up front. At least not for what I paid. Was the SD game discounted any because of where it was played? I would hope so. But even then, the stadium only holds 30k people anyway.

Would be funny if Dean Spanos took a knee during a press conference about it.

Exactly. And also at least one reason why the Rams packed up and moved to St. Louis in 1994 in the first place.

This.

There's way too much really bad football these days. Why?

There's way too big a disparity between the best teams and worst teams. Why?
The same teams make the playoffs year after year. Why?

The draft is stacked against the better teams and the worst teams get the best players but they still remain the worst teams in the league. Why?

The Patriots win their division year after year. I don't even need to ask why. The other 3 teams are .

Put a more competitive product on the field and the problem will be solved.

I can see the name now. The Los Angeles Chargers of San Diego.

[ALLD]

The should have formally renamed them the Super Chargers.

[BlackAndGold]

Thought it was a bad idea for them to move there in the first place.

At least with the Rams they have a young QB that will be marketable for the next decade, they also have a history in that city unlike the Chargers who only spent 1 year in LA before now.
