The LA Vikings?

I know L.A. has been wanting an NFL team back for awhile.

L.A. doesn't want a team, the league wants L.A. to have a team because it's a big TV market.

They had two teams...did not go to the games, did not support them...lost them. They don't deserve a third chance.

If anyone goes there...it will be the Jags.

I don't believe Minnesota would allow the Vikings to leave. Sure, they're threatening now to get a new stadium like the Twins did...but I don't see it being allowed to happen.

This!
LA will not support a team. The weather is too nice, big beautiful Pacific ocean and great Rocky mountains to play in. I would not spend my Sunday's indoors for 3 to 4 hours watching a football game. That is what DVR's are for.
We must learn from history and not to repeat the same mistakes over and over. The NFL knows this.....it is just strong arm negotiations on the part of the Vikings to get their posh new stadium with all the bells and whistles.
NFL teams hold cities hostage in these negotiations.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. http://www.losangelesfootballstadium.com/app/vault/originals/1328299573.pdf

I would hate to see Minnesota lose their team after 50 years. The ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on the Colts leaving Baltimore hit home on how much an established franchise means to a community. For many Colts fans, it was like a death in the family that is still a painful memory.

That's why I hate the Irsay's and the Colts, they should trade franchise names with the Ravens, the same could be said about the Browns becoming the Ravens, screw Modell too. I'm a diehard Redskins fan but also like tradition.

Doesn't bother you that the Redskins moved here from Boston?
