Week 1 of the NFL season had plenty of important stories worth following, but maybe the most entertaining was the mostly empty stadiums in Los Angeles and Santa Clara. Both the Los Angeles Ramsand San Francisco 49ers had sparse crowds for their home openers, and that has not gone unnoticed by the NFL.LA didn't want one NFL team now it has two. One of them is the Chargers. The Chargers are San Diego's team and they belong in San Diego. No one gives a crap about the LA Chargers. It sounds ridiculous. When the Chargers moved to LA we figured at least they weren't moving to St Louis or something. At least San Diego can still follow them. But no. It looks like Chargers fans are giving the gigantic FU to the Chargers and the Spanos family.
Good for them.
Ok, ok, Paul Tagliabue let teams move, the Browns, the Raiders, the Rams and the one big mistake he made was not getting a team back in LA pronto.
But Pete Rozelle (PBUH) understood that moving teams was a bad idea. At least he fought Al Davis and tried to keep him from moving from Oakland to LA.
In our lifetime the NFL has gone from the sport that dominates winter to the sport that dominates America. Its a cash cow. Now you've got empty seats, Roger. Empty !@#$ seats. That was thought to be impossible! But you've pulled it off Roger. You've pulled it off.
Bravo,CLAP...CLAP....CLAP....Bravo.
