How would you feel if Snyder moved the team to LA? Even if Washington got a team back, would you be over it? I will give credit to Modell for letting Cleveland keep the "name" and "colors" of the franchise unlike Robert Irsay who took everything.

I'd be pissed when it happened, but I wouldn't be crying about it years after we got another team. Especially if the city gets to keep the team identity.

Exactly. Browns fans should have been ecstatic that he left town giving them a chance at a new NFL team ran by another owner.

Had you asked me this 5 years ago, I would have packed the man's bags for him and gave him some gas money to get the **** out of town. I would not have been upset one bit because I knew the NFL would put another team here and we'd most likely have a much better owner.

And how long has LA been waiting for a franchise to return?

What are the issues against a team based in LA? Stadium revenues at the coliseum? Something Al Davis did?
