Movement in the NFL

What does the title say; yes there is the proposition of movement in the NFL.

Monday was the first day teams could petition the league to relocate franchises. Three teams - count them... THREE - requested relocation to Los Angeles.

San Diego Chargers said they were sad to have made into this point; through fourteen years they'd made nine proposals to seven different mayors to make upgrades to the stadium. As there were no actionable resolutions to improve the San Diego stadium not only for the teams, but their fan base.
They were the first of the three teams to release a statement.

The Oakland Raiders being the last to release a statement that pretty much said, "We're doing what we have to to follow the rules made to relocate us. Now that we've made out petition to the league; it's in the owners hands." Sorry folks but let's move them to the bottom of the pile. Give it some personalisation lads; make the world think you want it.

I get San Diego's stadium sucks, apparently. And the Raiders... well they're the Raiders. Did they not reside in or closer to LA at one point in time. I was lead to believe that when I dated someone who LIVED in Los Angeles. She was a New Orleans Saints fan, and yet didn't have the drive to make me a football fan. At that point I was exploring teams and was eye balling the Titans and the Cowboys.
Anyway... is Oakland and San Diego not already IN California?

The penultimate press release was then of course done by the St Louis Rams.
Their release wasn't any better than the Raiders. "We told the league we wanted to move to the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. We'll do it for next season."

Whichever team gets their petition passed to relocate will need three quarters of the league's owners to vote in the affirmative. That's 24 of 36. Big number. So none of them may even get it passed.
And if the big deal is to get more teams IN California, it will be the Rams to move. If the Raiders were originally an LA team, they won't be moving back. They may move San Diego to Los Angeles, and the Rams to San Diego with the league promising to back the update the stadium. But that's just my vision.
