NFL votes to allow Rams to move to Los Angeles
Spanos was still traveling back from Houston, where Tuesday night he suffered a stinging defeat while still being granted the chance to leave San Diego for Los Angeles. While the Chargers received the first option behind the Rams, the Oakland Raiders – who also applied for relocation – received the third option if the Chargers were to stay put.
On Tuesday, it was announced that the St. Louis Rams would be relocating to Los Angeles for the 2016 season. That would require finding common ground that’s never been found, and the potential of a public vote. They also gave the Chargers a one- year option to become the second team there. They can get extra money to stick in San Diego, which is unlikely. He said the move set “a awful precedent” not only for St Louis but for all communities that have “loyally supported” National Football League franchises. “It’s bittersweet, too, because we were unable to get the facilities that we’d hoped for in their markets”. The Chargers contend that 25 percent of their business comes from Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire.
CNN sent a list of questions to the Rams’ communications department, which included questions about where the Rams will play and practice.
