Carmon Policy said neither the league nor anyone in the Los Angeles political structure has approached him. But he thinks his experiences in San Francisco and Cleveland give him a unique perspective on the decade-long estrangement between the nation's No. 1 sports league and its second-largest market. "The NFL and Los Angeles have to abandon the way they've been dealing with each other up to now," he said. "It's got to be a marriage involving two highly talented, highly educated, highly motivated people ... You're not talking about the farm girl meeting the big-city executive. You're talking about equals learning to identify at eye level with each other and falling in love and somehow, some way making it better for both sides."

If smaller market cities like Charlotte,Jax,Nashville and others can support a franchise then I know a metro area like LA can and they have alot more rich people than alot of other cities.

But I understand where you are coming from and yeah blackouts do suck.

I hated it when tha Oakland RAIDERS were there and hated it when the LA RAMS moved.

I liked the Raiders when they were here.
I loved the Rams here.
I was happy to see them both leave. Since they've been gone, I've been able to see them on tv more often than when they were here due to that stupid blackout rule. I hope no NFL team ever moves here. It only helps the teams investors and local merchants. The average fan with a family can't afford to go to a pro football game. Short of going deeper into credit debt.

Exactly right, and only rich people can affordt to attend. Therefore I personally have no incentive in seeing a team come here. To make rich investors richer? Let a team move to a promising smaller market that shows the potential for growth. LA is too bloated with amusement parks and other diversions.
