    There is a crowd for the Chargers, and its about 100 miles south: San Diego. Easy to solve. NFL, sit down with city officials to make this work.

      The bridge to San Diego was burned up a long time ago.

      Definitely an agenda with this article, but not sure what to make of it. Maybe it’s just to get the conversation started because the Chargers are not staying in LA long term.

        (I was born, raised and live in Bangkok Thailand, so I will always follow them because I have no issue about the team moving away from my hometown/country...)

        Go Bolts!!!

        Note: San Diego Chargers sounds the best to me. I have not get used to the Los Angeles Chargers. London Chargers would seem very weird to me...
        Actually, the image of an English knight astride his charger would make perfect sense...

          Can't really see it happen with ANY single NFL team for quite a while. The disadvantage for an NFL team based in London would just be too great due to travel, associated expenses, scheduling, trying to secure free agents with such a big move etc. Almost need to be able to support a full division of teams there first to alleviates some of those problems.

            I too think it's ridiculous to locate a team across the Atlantic. My hope continues to be the Chargers will return to their home - San Diego. But if the Chargers did become the London or UK Chargers, which at this point I think is highly unlikely, it might be natural for me to remain a fan because I have strong ties to Britain, with extensive family there.

            I wonder if the time difference would work to the advantage of a London-based team, or the other way around?

              I'm still wondering how many Mexican Charger will show up in Mexico City, biggest Charger crowd in years? I know there will be at least 2, me and my GF.

                The Chargers are never going back to SD as long as Deano is the owner. That's just a pipe dream for people in here. London?.....im out as a fan.

                  Shit. The Chargers owners are so dumb that if they did move to London, they’d probably change their name to the Blitzkrieg and piss off the Brits as well. Probably have a slogan like “Run for the bomb shelters. The Blitzkrieg is back on the attack.”

                    To be honest, the city that makes the most sense to relocate is St. Louis. People would embrace the team in a second. There are many ties there.

                      They are not dumb.... the stadium is not empty, those are sellouts, the Spanoses are making a lot of money, they are laughing all the way to the bank.

                        I think they would keep the name as it has international context. If they did change the name, The Commandos would be appropriate because the British invented the term and the special forces.

                          Family be damned ... it’s all about the Benjamins.

                          St. Louis Chargers sound a lot better. San Louis if that is more appealing.
