I've always thought the Clippers should move to Vegas. The Las Vegas Clippers would make more sense than LAC.

I always felt Vegas is more Laker centric than even LA.

My two cents- the Chargers are originally from LA so welcome home bolts

Ok one more cent, two football teams in the negative don't make a positive or does it?

I lived in San Diego for four years, so this is an easy choice for me. Doesn't help either that the Rams are flat out awful to watch. With a couple of decent roster moves the chargers could get into the playoffs, i don't even see that possibility for the Rams.

Never cared for the Raiders. I didn't move to the US until 1999, so i have no affiliation to them whatsoever. They also only spent 12 years as an LA team when they were originally from Oakland to begin with. Having said that, if all you care about is winning, then they project much better with their young talent than either the Rams or Chargers.

You must not live in LA. Vegas loves the Lakers, though.

Ok as an Aussie. Why do american owners have such a laise-faire response to moving teams, and why do people feel that you should support that said team after they've basically betrayed you and that city (see St Louis moving to L.A, for some reason L.A fans were basically demanding St Louis fans support the rams even though most of the St Louis people were having none of it).

Now i know they kind of rejected the stadium, but the owner just seems like complete garbage anyway, moving away from San Diego who rejected this to a city where they haven't had an NFL for a while, now they're going to get 2. Plus from what i understand, San Diego has the least history by far out of the Rams, Raiders and them. Oh and they're playing out of a 30k seat stadium. And they're going to lose their QB because of this (probably not the biggest deal but still not a good way to start).

I mean obviously i follow the lakers, hardly a local team i suppose, but an example was when the local NBL team here folded, didn't want anything to do with the league really and only started getting back in once the team came back (8 years later).

Does seemingly clear the way for a San Diego MLS team though i'd think (if not an NBA team, no town deserves just the padres as their only major pro team).

I feel bad for the San Diego Charger fans.
The Chargers will have a marketing war with the Rams, but I think the fans will gravitate toward whichever teams that is winning.

BTW, the Clips should move the hell to San Diego.

It all really depends what kind of team we have. A young team like now wouldn't be fan favorite in Vegas.
