Chargers Won’t Fulfill Desires in San Diego
In regards to the Chargers making a move to the Los Angeles area, it seems everyone is ignoring one huge element in the equation for that to happen. That element would be the NFL franchise fee that a new team in LA would generate. The last team to pay the fee was the Houston Texans. They paid 700 million for the rights inn 2002. LA would generate a least 900 million given that it would be in the 2nd largest market in the country. I can't see the NFL allowing an existing team to move into that region and take that much money off the table. Remember, these are people who are experts in getting free money (subsidies)out of suckers. The move just doesn't make financial sense. I have always felt the Chargers were using the LA relocation as leverage to see if the existing San Diego City Councel members were bigger rubes than in previous years.— September 10, 2009 6:02 p.m.
