How true. To paraphrase a C & W song, The NFL gets the goldmine and the fans get the shaft. I'm so sick of franchises holding cities/states hostage for new stadiums every 10 years. I lived most of my life in LA. I've been to plenty of games. There are some great fans in LA. However, if the team ain't winning, the seats aren't being filled. There's so much to do in LA. No one is going to "waste" their hard earned dollar on a team that doesn't win. So if the NFL plans on moving a losing team to LA, they better hope that team starts winning before the novelty of a new team wears off. The NFL wants a team in LA for revenue, their 1st concern is not the fan.
