Raiders Owner Mark Davis Meets w/ San Antonio Officials; Potentially Interested in Moving Team

LA is just not an NFL city. As has been proven over the last 30 years by several teams. The interest in the NFL there is just not great. I doubt any team will ever have the success that you really need to have a top franchise there.

The whole London thing is the typical greed from rich guys that refuse to look at reality:

Time and travel are terrible realities they refuse to admit.

The taxes and other problems put that team at a huge disadvantage in FA.

And there is no real evidence that a full time NFL team will draw any better then any of the teams that were there before; bottom line is there are not enough rabid NFL fans to make a franchise work.

Maybe the good college programs there are enough for the LA fans?

Maybe. Or maybe NFL football is just too testosterone loaded for the effete types in LA.

Ha. Now that may be why.

San Antonio ... always getting played by an NFL team. They had a shot at an MLS team several years ago. Then Katrina happened and they convinced themselves that they could snag the Saints. So some local bigwigs killed the MLS deal. How's that working out?

Well... Vegas baby.......

No idea why the NFL would not heavily invest in the LA market and build the Raiders a stadium.
Yes. demographics have shifted in that market but still.....

I don't even want the Texans in Texas much less the Raiders. San Antonio will not support the Raiders because most of their citizens either root for the Cowboys or the Texans. Let the Raiders look elsewhere.The Raiders are only using S.A. as a negotiation ploy anyway.
