NFL Hits LA

Last night the NFL Owners voted to send the now former St. Louis Rams to LA and to allow the San Diego Chargers to workout a lease deal with the Rams to also join them in LA.  So potentially next year there may be two NFL teams in LA where there were none.  I honestly never thought that the Rams would be the team that the owners voted to initiate the move to LA since they had a fairly good thing going on in St. Louis and the fans where there. Yet their owner was very vocal about wanting to move and had made the post progress towards getting a stadium built in LA. 

The Raiders fans have lucked out and will be staying in Oakland, I can only think of what would have happened if they had moved.  Personally I believe that the owners were scared of the fans in Oakland and decided that the fans of the Rams and Chargers would be easier to handle then the fans of Oakland.  Next year will be interesting with at least one team in LA and it will change a few things in terms of travel for teams.  I'm intrigued to see if this move will work and if LA can be a viable football city.

I hope you enjoyed this post and will keep following my love affair with sports.
