The Raiders move to Vegas is actually a good thing. Las Vegas is close enough for both the Bay Area and LA fans, as well as to Denver for when the Broncos play. I used to mention close to San Diego for Chargers fans but the Chargers have no fans anywhere now.
The Chargers move is simply reprehensible, but the San Diego residents are just as responsible as that slime ball Spanos for it. SD was acting entitled by refusing to accept anything other than the NFL and Chargers ownership paying for everything. All stadiums, even in "football country" are partially funded by the public. The retarded thing is, this was not going to affect San Diego residents' pockets at all though, as the money was going to come from a new hotel tax that would be levied upon out-of-town tourists.
I'm torn on who to blame though, because the people of SD totally fucked up, but Spanos is such a creep that the whole move comes out as a wash because he has to pay a relocation fee that is more than he would have paid for the SD stadium.
Good moves actually matter to me because if you haven't figured out I have a very vested interest in the success of the League in general
