Wait I'm confused, are Raiders fans so awful that they still root for them in Las Vegas or are these all new fans who live in Vegas? either way lol

Who are the fans in Oakland supposed to root for now? Like, the Rams?

At some point you become so invested in a team you don't care which city they play for. Over three decades ago, I became a Broncos fan because they were the local team growing up. If they ended up moving to Utah I would still root for them.

Unless your identity is tied to whatever city you live in, which seems to be the case with most San Diegans

It's true, despite the number of transplants. I can forgive hating the Chargers based on Spanos though.

Sorry but I'm going to lol forever at anyone dumb enough to keep rooting for a millionaire that just jumps ship for a bigger tax handout in another city. Not even Browns fans are that loving stupid.

That's like rooting for British Petroleum after your spouse dies on the oil rig and have your shrimping business destroyed by the spill. You are the sucker in this relationship.

I remember Pat Bowlen pulling the same routine to get the new mile high stadium built, he kept threatening to move the team to Houston if he didn't get enough free taxpayer money here. That was the beginning of the end of my love of football, I can't even imagine how naive and bored you'd have to be to keep rooting for a silly logo after a billion dollar scam like that.

I mean I hate Dean Spanos intensely but have you seen the new stadium and what his team is worth now? It's more than a "bigger tax handout". It sucks for Charger fans, I understand that. I just want people to comprehend the business side of the decision.

I still don't understand how the team's value jumps so high when they literally own nothing by way of the stadium, just simply being in los angeles where no one wants them.

most of the money comes from broadcast rights
and the value of broadcast rights is directly related to the media market
and the LA media market is the second-largest or largest in the country, the other being NYC. It was absurd that they had no football team for so long, and even splitting it in two the same way NYC is, it's still a huge amount more than the san diego metropolitan media market

https://mediatracks.com/resources/nielsen-dma-rankings-2020/
1/2 of LA's market is still bigger than every other market below the top five


coincidentally, the next largest media market in the country with no football team is sacramento, which is why I always thought the raiders should move there instead of las vegas, but I don't think sacramento was interested.

e. I guess now it's Orlando, with sactown the next one down the list.

Really bizarre game, Chiefs only had like 50 offensive snaps, felt like Mahomes barely was on the field for half the game, felt like Lindsay was running for 10 ypc, but look up and KC is leading by 30..?

I thought Lindsay was wearing some sort of fur wrap around his neck for almost the whole game until I saw his picture and realized it was just his hair.
