    I can remember when teams were loyal to the fans....After the Chargers I became upset and now I no longer want football.

    I still call them San Diego. It used to be a mistake, now I do it on purpose simply to reject the idea that they actually moved.

    You don't care about them?

    Think of their well-being for once.

    Yup, they should have moved to San Antonio.

    However, my family and I are buying season tickets. It's a short flight from SLC to LV and back.

    Sports businesses are about profits first and foremost.

    Profit? Really? How strange, a sport team owner wanting to make a profit. Such evil in this world. Tsk tsk.

    The Raiders are a miserable franchise.

    Go Patriots!

    The Cowboys and Texans would have fought hard to keep a team out of San Antonio.

    I saw some interviews with Al Davis in his last few years and he seemed completely out of it. Not sure how he could run a team in his condition but I guess the sons were running it.

    Vegas.... :roll:

    I would have prefered them in San Antonio, but it's an easy flight to season tickets in LV, so my sons and I are going to give it a go.

    The Charger fans didn't support the team and fill the stands, and I believe that the chargers wanted a new stadium paid for or helped by the city. I still have a SanDiego Charger tee shirt that my wife got for me. I wear it only to formal events, such as weddings and Bar Mitzvahs.
