.@Alex_Flanagan says fans are driving by the #Chargers
facility, honking their horns and giving them the finger. That kind of day. 
The new logo from the now-Los Angeles @Chargers
Fugly new logo IMO.
I'm sure LA will have no problems supporting 2 teams.
3 teams if the Raiders arrive....
Raiders are going to Vegas. I think the Chargers should use the middle finger emoji as the logo and call themselves the LA ****wits.
LA can't support one NFL franchise let alone two.

Yeah but headline said Raiders so I thought there was a new deal....
As for what this means for TV in LA - good luck ever seeing the top late doubleheader game there again. See San Francisco.
Loved LATimes columnist TJ Simers (formerly of Beloit Daily News) term for them: The Spanos Goofs.
Why did the Dodgers change their logo?
Rams hire the youngest Head Coach in the NFL since the 1920's.
I heard in his spare time he came up with the logo...
I think all the bad NFL teams should be moved to LA. That way when they play games overseas, there will still be football in LA.

Hey, he can't give a worse press conference than Tomsula. If he does he will have to work on it.
He doesn't even carry the football correctly. Cover that tip with more than a finger for crying out loud.

The NFL is a worse place because that man isn't giving regular press conferences. The heavy breathing into the mic was extra special.
Spanos has made a terrible decision in my opinion.

And the farting during news conferences. Seriously someone check the Rams coach's ID. He looks like an intern out of college.
Odds you would have expected to read these two sentences just last month:

Anthony Lynn is HC of LA Chargers.
Sean McVay is HC of LA Rams.
Hey, if Sean is any relation to Timothy, he's a perfect fit to blow the Rams up.
LA can handle one team, not two. This is going to be a disaster for all parties involved. The Chargers, the Rams and the NFL. Dean Spanos is an idiot. He's going to pay over $600 million in relocation fees to pay rent in Kroenke's stadium, which will be half empty most of the time (except when they play the Raiders, that will be a 9th home game for the silver and black). They'll be playing in a 30,000 seat soccer stadium for the next two years. I really wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of empty seats there too if the Chargers keep sucking.
San Diego Chargers of Pomona that's the ticket
The LA Raiders were the only real team they've had there that had a legit following.
Spanos doesn't strike me as a real sharp guy. He makes Mark Davis look like a rocket scientist.
The apple certainly can fall far from the tree
One of the comments was directed that the city didn't do anything. Not true. This is all on Spanos.
The Mexican Stand Off was that Spanos demanded a downtown stadium. The city and fans would've approved a new stadium to replace the old one in the same location. They would've developed the 166 acres surrounding the area in Mission Valley. Fans rejected the downtown stadium, and the Spanos' took their ball and left.

Rodger is probably talking about the other owners having to agree to let Spanos pay off his $550 million relocation over several years (with interest of course) Spanos is rich. Just not stupid rich. Has to hurt the owners not to be able to collect that all at once. Thank goodness Stan had his relocation fee in the sofa cushions. Mark Davis is probably going to need a little time as well.
Rodger will be gone the instant profits stop growing.
He actually said in reply to the idea that San Diego fans are hurting that "...the NFL is hurting, too!" . wow.
