Someone please help me understand: The SoFi stadium in Inglewood is meant for both the Rams and the Chargers. How could the Chargers back out of that deal since the stadium is already being built?
Rams owner (Woolwich Kronke) is the one actually financing and will own the stadium - the Chargers would just be tenants. Plus they are both NFL teams and the NFL can pretty much do whatever they want.Someone please help me understand: The SoFi stadium in Inglewood is meant for both the Rams and the Chargers.

Chargers had support in San Diego, alot of it, then they moved.The Chargers have always lacked support. Would ENIC try to buy them? And..... can Spurs play on Saturday and Chargers on Sunday?
NFL is where it's at now for levy but there is an annexe to this it's a small matter of Tottenham Hotspur they used to be a football club over there.
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I would've hoped ENIC would be able to buy the Chargers. Even if Levy would only partially manage the franchise, it would be very interesting to see how he (and the staff he appoints) would cope with transforming them to heavyweights.Chargers had support in San Diego, alot of it, then they moved.
ENIC can't afford to buy the Chargers, and if the owner has a chance to move a team to London why would he sell?
And yes, a weekend doubleheader is feasible according to several sources, most notably Levy.

Levy’s impact would likely be minimal. The NFL is a closed system with a collective bargaining agreement and salary cap, so every team is more or less working under the same financial restraints from a competitive standpoint.Might be an unpopular opinion, but I would've hoped ENIC would be able to buy the Chargers.

Back in the day I 'supported' Houston Oilers then one fine day they upped sticks and changed name so I lost interest. Anyway it was much like supporting Spurs, always the nearly team.What is all this nonsense about teams moving cities and even countries? Don’t they have any proper fanbase who are disappointed when they go? And do new “lifelong” fans suddenly materialise are the new place? It all sounds very weird.
Aldi 'Alcafe' beans (strength 4 or 5, they're identical beans) are excellent and inexpensive - if it's beans you're after.Yeah I had to go back a few pages to find it and now I need a nice strong coffee. Can anyone recommend a good brand?
The Chargers "support" in San Diego did not include passing a tax initiative to build a new stadium. It was defeated by a 57%-43% vote. Having attended a Spurs game in that stadium 18 months ago, I can tell you that they could not have continued to play there.Chargers had support in San Diego, alot of it, then they moved.
