You don't have to interject in a sports thread, why everyone should not care and how they're retarded for doing so. Don't bash on what people care about in terms of entertainment It's a real piece of shit thing to do.you like to use that word, "dogmatic," but i'm not sure if you know what it means

i don't understand how it's a piece of shit thing to do to express an opinion different than your own--especially considering that if you did the same thing to me and one of my interests, i wouldn't really careit's not really a big deal--i'm not putting a gun to your head and telling you to stop watching football, so i really don't see a problem
discussion is not somehow halted or curtailed when i come into one of these threads--you don't have to respond

People from all over the world come, and it's kept hundreds of local business alive. The NFL on the other hand just sucks up tax payer money since they like to pretend they're a nonprofit. Also the Chargers suck and no one cares about them except for local sports nuts. Most people wouldn't be too heartbroken if they left.

But you are correct that "most" people wouldn't care if the Chargers left.

But you are correct that "most" people wouldn't care if the Chargers left.The local paper did a poll, 51% of San Diegans disagree with you two. Sure, that means 49% are apathetic, but is it the team or organization that soured them? Would that change if the Spanos family sold the team?
Speaking of moving, here's hoping the NHL can move the Florida Panthers up north to Quebec City or finally get the expansion train rolling with teams in Seattle, Las Vegas, Quebec City, etc. I hate seeing the Panthers' arena empty. The Tampa Bay Lightning are all the hockey the sunshine state needs.

Gotta give up much more than 400 mil if you want a stadium these days.

Quote from: PSU on January 13, 2016, 06:24:01 PMThe NFL is one of the biggest businesses in American History.Which is why they should pay for their stadiums without taking tax money that should be used in better ways, i.e. fixing roads and whatnot. A stadium would be a minor asset to a multi-billion dollar industry.

The city allows the NFL to build a stadium, and the city gets benefited by the revenue the stadium brings through tourism, taxes, etc. Making the city pay is backwards as shit, the NFL doesn't need help with money.

I hate the big business and corporations are evil meme but let's be honest the NFL is pretty fucking slimy.
So the Rams are moving to LA
