Is tHe cHargers moving back to San Diego an option?
I like That
Never say never, just like how the Rams moved back to L.A., after spending 21 years in Skank Loserville.
Only if whomever is the next owner pays for an entire new stadium in the San Diego area.
@@S_Over_Street Unless Snapdragon Stadium gets expanded to 55-60K seats to accommodate the return of the Chargers or a different NFL team in the future.
Why did the Chargers move to Los Angeles? San Diego and LA are in the same state.
From a outside of USA perspective, relocation is the most strange thing in sports (with the absence of relegation). Normally in Europe and south America the top teams have a very strong relation with the community. Most because of the league formations, it took years to a team became a top tier team. In England a teams can't change neighborhood
yeah in the pl there are manchester city and united
No fans or players like relocation at all a while back the browns almost relocated and the fans were literally rioting
Some owners of major league sports teams are always looking for a quick payout or a city financed stadium.
There have been 2 relocations in UK sport I'm aware of, Wasps from London to Coventry and the far more controversial Wimbledon to Milton Keynes
Some teams in the USA have a strong relation with their areas too like New York Knicks/Nets, The Bulls, The Lakers, The Celtics (and every Boston team) etc. Those are just basketball teams!
Well, in reality, Jacksonville has already relocated to London, but they’re also still in Jacksonville.
I say move them to Portland. They would be pretty well supported there and also there’s just a lot more money in Portland then in Jacksonville. And also Nike is there and Phil knight, so he will make sure that franchise even though that would be terrible news to us Seahawks fans. But it would give the team an identity.
@@pnwsp21stcentury81 damn you really want the jags in portland.
To be really honest I really don’t like Portland and as a Seattle sports fan I don’t like Portland’s pro teams. But in a rivalry however you have to always respect your rival. And I dont like Portland as a sports city and their sports fans but overall at the end of the day I respect Them and I take that city and their fans way more seriously then Jacksonville. And also Portland has a better track record of supporting their team because they’ve supported the Blazers and the Timbers for almost 50 years(especially if you count the NASL era in American soccer)
And also if Jaguars did come to Portland build the rivalry with the Seahawks. It would be like the Ducks and huskies rivalry on steroids.
@@pnwsp21stcentury81 tbh jags don’t have a sizable fan base is because they’ve only been around for like 20 something years and they’ve been consistently bad with the exception of 2017. i think the fan base will be better after some time and some wins in jax.
Is it crazy to mention that Memphis deserves an NFL franchise?
Honestly Jacksonville only doesn't fill the building solely because of their performance. If you look back to right after their 2017 run to the AFC Championship game they were the number one seller of season tickets that off-season. If they would even put themselves in a position to contend for the very last wild card spot the fans would come out in great numbers.
Jax fan base strong… DUUUVAL
I can't imagine my Jags moving. I know we're not that successful but it's all we got in JAX
Move the Jaguars to a new place such as San Juan, Puerto Rico and call them the Puerto Rico Jaguars.
Well if they do I will stop being a Jaguars fan and become a buccaneers or Dolphins fan to protest.
Yes I would be heartbroken if they left jax because it is all we have
You think that means anything to these billionaires.
Not to mention the sheer amount of money that Shad has invested in Jax and the Jags in Jax. People need to remember you don't stay rich or get rich by spending money foolishly.
Video idea: NFL games that started ugly but Ended in a thriller.
Every Chiefs playoff game ever with Patrick Mahomes besides Bengals and Superbowl against the Bucs.
@@riprip5229 Like Super Bowl LI?
Ravens Vikings is the perfect game for that video
Bills vs Oilers in 1993
@@riprip5229 Even that’s a good example.
St Louis needs an NFL team, we loved the rams before they betrayed us and we are a great market for an nfl team
Yeah, I’ve been an advocate for a St. Louis NFL team since the Rams moved.
Then why St. Louis lost two NFL teams in 1988 and 2015?
@@alexanderarce3341 Because the Rams were moving to St. Louis so the Cardinals left. And in 2016 LA needed a team and they decided the Rams would be the best team to move
🤣 🤣 🤣
@@PurdyGoodProdz and lest we forget the Cardinals moved to Pheoniz because St. Louis was "too cold"
The Montreal Olympic stadium is not really a good option for an MLB Team or any major sports team. Wouldn't be surprised if the stadium gets scrapped in the near future.
Montreal can't make up its mind. It costs a ton of money to maintain Olympic Stadium, but it would cost a ton of money to tear it down, too.
that stadium is a dump!!
How about Hartford CT for hockey. The whalers jersey is still one of the most popular jerseys based on sales figures in the NHL. They were near sellout crowds before Karrmanosoved them to North Carolina. Bring the NHL back to Hartford.
This is sooo laughable. Karmonos moved the team because the team couldn’t even bring 12,000 fans when he begged them to come while also threatening relocation.
No chance. While I’d love to see it the current arena is substandard and there’s zero appetite to build a new one, either by state government or private enterprise. Plus even at best this market is about the Bruins and Rangers and that’s it.
@@GoalHornGeek Wrong, as someone who was a Whalers fan, Karmorons said he wasn't going to move it. Matter of fact, the fact that he got the team was fishy as another ownership team (mostly Connecticut businesspeople) offered more money, and private funding to build an arena, but the owners (and one was the governor) refused. The Whalers still have a fan club and the state's hockey fan will welcome them back.
That said, with Connecticut being mismanaged, I doubt it would happen, because people are moving out. Most of the Lightning fans remembered the Whalers and some of the Lightning fans are former Whalers fans.
@@arthurpasseri4761 I think you mean the Carolina Hurrican fans.
St. Louis deserves a new NFL team. It wasn’t nice of the Rams to leave them.
They couldn't afford a new stadium 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
I hope my Chargers move to San Antonio because I am looking to moving to San Antonio in 5 or 6 years from now
The Lions with new owners
Honestly. I don’t think St Louis is a good place to have a professional team. You saw how the NFL Cardinals and the Rams played out, despite SB XXXIV for the latter. My opinion though.
I don't know if st.louis can trust any NFL team they have been screwed over twice already
The Sacramento Kings are not leaving they just got a new stadium not to long ago although my city of Seattle does need a NBA team again
Take The Clippers
@@samuraibeastwarrior2886 the Flippers are building a new arena in Inglewood, (a suburb of L.A.) and expected to open in less than 2 years. So they're out of the question.
@@DieYuppiieSkum they need to be in Seattle
@@samuraibeastwarrior2886 too late for any further discussion with that. Move on.
@@DieYuppiieSkum it not to late
Honestly surprised Wisconsin has not received a NHL team. With the success of the NCAA mens and womens hockey teams in Madison. And there being a minor league team in the Admirals for many years. Would love to see a Wisconsin vs Minn rivalry
I'd love to see that too! But between Chicago and the Twin Cities, I'm not too sure that Wisconsin (Milwaukee most likely) would get a team that easily though. It's a shame because there is real talent and potential to draw for some good games, not to mention an underrated fanbase up here.
NHL and NBA have a unwritten agreement not to step on each other's shoes in mid and small markets. Milwaukee has the Bucks. Denver is the smallest metro with both and it's a lot bigger than Milwaukee plus it has unrivalled regional support from how isolated it is as a major city. You would have strong regional support in the state itself but I suspect it would be to avoid breaking that compact with the NBA more than anything
Dollar Bill Wirtz all but vetoed an NHL franchise many times before he died. With Rocky in charge of the Hawks, it’s possible this happen but unlikely.
Wisconsin volley ball is great too
Milwaukee Marauders?
Problem with London is how long it takes to get opposing team equipment over there and also their’s back to the us
We should get a new nfl division in San Diego, st Louis, San Antonio, and San Jose. Regardless, I feel really bad for San Diego losing the chargers. They deserve a new team
They should pay their taxes then!
Kool with it. The San Division opposite the European Division. They cannot incorporate 1 Division, they need at least 2 Divisions!
An Europe is the money pit. Long overdue. Needing desperately to satisfy demand!
@@BEEyonced I am very much open to a European division, as long as the American teams are okay with handling the jet lag several times a year. I know the London games aren’t their favorite.
@@B-A-L - If you are talking about the owners, yes. If you are talking about the fans, Food-Under-Car-Keys you!
No to another team in San Jose (Santa Clara is a garbage San Jose suburb). Privately build a new stadium in Oakland instead.

Of course, none of this will happen, but it's nice to dream.
Correction chargers have to go back to San Diego
San Diego right now only has the Padres
Jags playing in London is so unfair especially for West coast teams who have a whole 11 hour time change
to be fair it’s not like the jags are gonna win either way
The West Coast teams would probably play an East Coast away game prior to playing in London anyway and its only an extra hour's flying time from New York to London as it is from LA to New York.
It’s not that us people in tampa don’t like the rays it’s just that the rays don’t play in tampa its in a terrible location and if you live in tampa it takes at least 30 to 45 min to get to the stadium if they moved to tampa the attendance would skyrocket
Exactly! It’s like people don’t research before saying “Relocate! Relocate!”
I love the US-Canada dynamic in the Big 4 sports leagues, especially the NHL. That being said, I do prefer that the NFL remain a US-only league. I love how NFL football is exclusively an American tradition that our whole country can share. Other countries are welcome to follow along of course, but keep the teams in the US please.
Football’s almost as big in Canada as it is in the states. It’s been played in Canada just as long as it has been in America, and after hockey it’s by far the second most popular sport here Lots of people make trips down to Buffalo or New England every year to see games. It’s definitely not exclusively American.
@@Dreadlock1227 I didn't say football in general is exclusively American, specifically NFL football is. No team has existed outside the country and I like it that way because we can truly call the league our own which is something I prefer to have in at least one league, the same way you guys have your own leagues to unite around.
But a lot of sports fans in Canada are getting tired of the blatant pro-U.S. double standard. Why should we support the 'growth' of the NHL into ridiculous places like Arizona, where it has done nothing but lose multi-millions, when the NFL refuses to put a team in Toronto that would be obviously be profitable and in a much larger market than Jacksonville?
I have no choice but to accuse you of being pro-American and selfish.
@@FischerFan to be fair, most of the NHL’s expansion efforts into non traditional hockey cities in the US have been very successful. Arizona’s just the one bad example but the rest have gone great. And at the end of the day, the NHL’s objective when it comes to expansion is to create new fans who weren’t already watching the NHL, which is something that expanding into Canada won’t really do. If they were to put a new team in Quebec City, or a 2nd Toronto team, that wouldn’t really be bringing any new fans to the league. But Seattle or Vegas? Those are basically untapped markets of hundreds of thousands of potential new hockey fans. I don’t like it either, but at the end of the day the NHL exists to maximize their profits. Expansion is a tool to do that, and expansion into the US is the most optimal way to go about it.
And it’s the same with the NFL. As far as utilizing expansion to maximize the leagues profits goes, Toronto just isn’t an optimal market.
@@Dreadlock1227 You are forgetting that the League also had to vacate Atlanta.
Florida had been floundering for years.
Carolina had a few years when they were playing in front of more empty seats than filled ones as well.
Nashville was once at risk of relocation.
San Jose and Anaheim are struggling due to their on-ice products.
So you can't say that Arizona has been the exception rather than the rule.
You make it sound as if the NHL needs to put a team in every American city in order to create new fans for itself. This is blatantly untrue.
Playoff games in Arizona have proven that teams like the Red Wings and Black Hawks have had followings long before the NHL put a team in Phoenix.
That's like saying that football can't possibly have a following in San Antonio or Austin unless there is a team there, and your claim that Toronto can't be a solid market for the NFL is absurd. The NFL has always enjoyed a strong following across Canada.
I’m so glad I’m not seeing the Carolina Hurricanes on these lists anymore. This season, across the first 6 home games, the team has averaged 18,170 (97.3% Capacity) fans per game, which is 7th best in the league right now, with the next game sold out as well. Last season, they averaged 17,210 fans which is very good coming right out of Covid (one of the few teams to grow). I’d also say Raleigh is ready for another pro team. The overall Raleigh-Durham market has 2.2M people in it, not including the 500k in Fayetteville or the 1.6M in Greensboro which are only an hour away each. In terms of sports, there’s only the college teams, and 1 major league team. The Canes. For comparison, Nashville has 1.9M people in it and has the Predators, Nashville SC, Titans, and NASCAR. Meanwhile, NC State and UNC football programs have 50,000 people at each game and the Duke and UNC basketball games are always sold out (note UNC has 22,000 seats). On top of that, NC State’s baseball program has also been selling out for years and the Durham bulls have been near the top of the MiLB in terms of value, following, and attendance. There’s also to consider the corporate growth, population growth and transportation growth. I mean, since Covid, Apple, Clorox, VinFast, Google, Meta have all established some hub or headquarters in the area. And now, Avelo airlines plans to base at least 7 aircraft at the airport by 2024 and the airport maintaining 3 successful flights to Europe without many connecting passengers. And for what it’s worth, the canes invented shared box suites and have sold out all suites and box suites since moving to Raleigh. This is exactly what the major league organizations are looking for, yet keep passing up Raleigh because of other nearby cities that are just a bigger name grab.
Across 21 games, they have averaged 18,456 fans per game, or 98.8%
No NFL team is ever going over seas. The logistical nightmare that would be along with the amount of bye weeks given to teams going there or them coming to the states would be a pain. Only way it would work is if there happened to be like 5 other teams around London as well but not sure if NFL is THAT big overseas enough to make it profitable or worth it.
Not one team. The only way this happens would be for an entire division to be created in Europe. I could see 4 teams over there within a decade but execution would be critical.
NFL is pretty popular in Frankfurt and the area surrounding it but there isn't a big enough stadium in that region of Germany
It doesn’t make sense to move any teams outside of the states because football is mainly a United States sport why move a team to London
@@youtubeuser9090 I agree it wouldn’t make sense anyway on top of the logistical nightmare it would be
@@duckattak I agree it’s complete different from having nhl teams in Canada
The Kings aren’t fucking moving lmao they just got a new arena
Jax moving to London would probably cause so many problems, finances for travel, Not sure a team of Americans would really be able to truly adjust to British Laws and people.
Yeah, how would they manage without their guns?
Maybe the jags should just fold and then Trevor Lawrence can join a new team, maybe the patriots or steelers
Tbh Tampa Bay just needs a new baseball arena. They’re pretty good, but the reason fans aren’t there is because of where Tropicana is located and how frustrating the traffic is and whatnot. If they got a new arena, I’m sure plenty of fans would go. The Bucs and Lightning always have good attendance, so the Rays should get a new arena somewhere in Tampa and not St. Petersburg.
Yeah no tampa team is going nowhere
Honestly the rays don't have a problem with having a fan base it's just that people don't want to go to St Pete to watch baseball in a crappy stadium. Maybe if they could get a stadium in Tampa or even move them 2 hours down the road to Orlando they would get great attendance numbers and maybe even sell out some games.
If Tampa can support a HOCKEY team, then they definitely support baseball since last time I checked, baseball was more popular is most U.S. cities than hockey. If the Rays move, it's only because of their "Robert Irsay" like owner.
The chargers should go back to San Diego. Also, they need to add a Baltimore Basketball tea,

VIDEO SUGGESTION: 10 biggest disappointments in the NFL halfway through the season
I've got an idea, make your own goddamn channel and do whatever you want.
Wouldn’t it be hard for an NFL team travel between London and The US?
Yeah, but Hawaii pulls off something similar in college ball so it's not like it's impossible.
It would but here in Europe we've had teams play in some of our leagues from different continents. We've had teams from South Africa and Canada compete in Rugby. Likewise in Football players will play International matches in the middle of the week and fly back to play for their clubs at the weekend
Imagine if the Jags got moved to London Ontario instead lmao
Hey, Detroit deserves an NFL team and doesn't currently have one right now
Go back to cheer Dale Jr dude. Lions needs owners
Seattle and Las Vegas are not getting relocated NBA teams as they are on the top of the list for expansion teams instead as the league might expand to 32 teams very soon.
As a houstonion, we’d LOVE a hockey team
You can have the Sabres if you want em
The hornets have a contract with Charlotte for 16 years so relocating is not happening for a while
Come home that contract doesn't mean anything if they want to relocate look at Seattle the SuperSonics was under contract but that didn't help them keep their team
For the Kings, the support is still there, the numbers don’t tell the whole story. Once they show even a small sign of getting any stuff together, they’ll start selling out. Heck, the mayor of Sacramento even rallied to keep the team there. Seattle is better off getting an NBA expansion team. Las Vegas could definitely use an expansion team there also for the NBA. Houston would be a great market for a relocated NHL team, the MLB could use Nashville and Charlotte as expansion teams. For the NFL, the Jaguars could move to Austin, that would be a perfect fit for them, much more than London.
The Hornets won’t move as long as Jordan owns it. That’s his home.
I don’t know about Austin for an the Chargers. I think San Antonio makes a little more sense. But in either case, another NFL team in Texas just makes sense. Other than there, where would they move? Maybe Portland, OR? I don’t think Salt Lake would be a good choice. Oklahoma City could be an interesting possibility as well.
Texas won’t get another team. The only area that can support it is SAT/AUS and the Cowboys have been very territorial on that subject
if you’ve ever been at a marlins after party they are LIT and to move a team to a more “sportsy” city doesn’t mean it’ll do well
I think a lot of people don't understand what the NFL is actually looking for if a team is to relocate.
1. Tv / Media market: London has a massive market for this.
2. Established base for fan travel: London has a major hunmb for international travel. Much like every other NFL team has access to a close, major airport.
3. Stadium Budget: The Jags owner already owns Wembly stadium in London, meaning they won't need to tax or crowd source funding.
4. Will the new market support the team better?: Jacksonville has struggled to maintain max attendance/season tickets due to the teams lack of success as well as the multitude of other options that a state like Florida offers. London has show sell out crowds left and right for concerts, Soccer and Football at Wembley which holds 90,000. The Jags would probably adopt a new fan base instantly as the only Euro team.
5. Travel: This will be the single largest hurdle to overcome. International travel would suck for the NFL and its fans. This alone could drive team expenses through the roof and limit fans traveling to support their teams.
Overall i think they'll make a push for it, but its gonna be a tough sell to the league. However, the move makes complete sense.
Do one where you list top 10 sports teams that should not move.
Any team with a storied history.
The city of Jacksonville, FL, and the Jaguars agreed to a new 30-year lease and stadium renovation deal in June 2024. They are not moving to London or anywhere else for that matter.
Correction jaguars to St. Louis
Correction St. Louis pony up the money to get an expansion team.
San Diego deserves an NFL and NBA team. It's ridiculous all their teams keep getting taken away! I know the Padres will never leave. The fans are Die Hard for the Padres!
we’ll be getting an mls team soon
@@wond3rkid82 I’ll pass on soccer
lol
Washington Commanders to San Antonio
LA Chargers to OKC
NYJ to STL
Sacramento Kings to Omaha, Nebraska
LA Clippers to OKC
OKC Thunder to Seattle
Pelicans to Vegas would be interesting
There was also a talk back in 2007 or 2008 of the Bills moving to Toronto, but fear of the CFL's potential collapse prevented that from happening. If there's one area in North America where the NFL should definitely expand, it's to Canada. You'd probably have two or even three potential teams that could play in there (Toronto, Vancouver, or Montreal, plus either Edmonton or Calgary).
Problem:
1) Roger's Center seated only 55,000 for football.
2) The Blue Jays (who own the stadium) have fixed it so that it is no longer convertible for football.
3) The owners are considering building a new stadium.
It would absolutely destroy the CFL though
@@owenpowell3291 Which is fine with me! It would mean having to listen no more to the arrogance from annoying Rider fans! The NFL should pay the CFL to disband and then put teams exclusively in NHL cities in Canada, provided they have adequate ownership and NFL-caliber facilities.
Florida Panthers ain’t going anywhere now that they’ve won the Stanley Cup. Your take on the Oakland Athletics relocating to Las Vegas however has aged like wine.
I think the Coyotes would be better off moving to Milwaukee. Wisconsin is a huge hockey state. Milwaukee has a recently built arena in FiServ Forum which has hosted an NHL exhibition game. And there wouldn't have to be any divisional realignment.
Milwaukee is a small market that already has a NBA Franchise plus the Blackhawks would block it
If the jags remain a crappy team after moving to London it won’t take long for them to get bored and stop showing up. It’s a novelty right now and that’s why they are showing up. Give them a team that loses 12-14 games a year will absolutely kill that market
Me: sees the thumbnail for people to click
Also Me: Agrees Greatly
The Jags can't move to London because there is no place for them to play.
The pitch at Wembley and Twickenham can't handle a full NFL season so the only option is Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (who got a retractable 2nd pitch). There is no way Tottenhams owner will let a NFL franchise owned by Tony Khan (owner of their competitor Fulham) use it as a home.
Move the OKC Thunder back to Seattle for the SuperSonics
All the rumors online say Seattle and Vegas are the top two choices for expansion. Bring back the Sonics!!!
Yes we are not big on our own NBA team in Louisiana because most of us started following other NBA teams because we didn't have a NBA after the Jazz left to Utah
Hornets are never leaving Charlotte and the Marlins despite not having many fans are in Miami till at least 2049
Las Vegas? When the Raiders play home games .. its mostly the opposing team crowd cheering. It's like an away game but home
Raiders still have a significant local fan base compared to other relocated teams like Chargers but that tends to happen when you have a franchise in a tourist city with no prior connection. The Golden Knights are an original to Vegas so there’s a difference there.
Have you ever seen a charger game 😂 17 away games for th last 7 years
Florida Panthers are not leaving they have fans here just need competent ownership which recently they have just look at the marlins they love baseball here but hate losing bad organizations
I saw Portland, OR as a landing spot for the A’s. It’d be a even better rivalry with Seattle.
I hope Portland gets a team so the Mariners have a close rival!
@@tahuyachris isn’t that what I said basically?
@@SixTenVisuals yes!
Also Marlins are not leaving they have a big fan base here it's just bad management for years and years especially when you have the heat that are the epitome of consistency and winning the marlins look so much worse for us
I'm a big hockey fan living in Houston, I'd love to have a team here. I think the city would def get behind an NHL team given how many transplants from Canada and around the US are here.
I want Pittsburgh to have a basketball team I’m tired of not having a team to cheer for in Pittsburgh basketball wise
personally I think we'll end up with the hornets. the obviousness of only needing to change the teams colors to fit in with the rest of the Yinzer teams might be a bit enticing to the team, and ive tested the theory myself, black and gold looks good on every hornets logo
@@michellebrown7714 the name would fit with Pittsburgh because a sports team used that name in the past.
Pittsburgh had an AHL team called the Hornets from 1936 to 1956 and 1961 to 1967.
I think it’s a dumb idea for the Jags to move to London for a few reasons.
1) It would devastate the Jags fan base with any move. While the Jags aren’t known for having a large, rabid fan base it would still suck. Being a Browns fan I know how this feels.
2) The travel there would be tricky. Moving equipment and such across country is hard enough, try doing it internationally.
3) There are closer, more logical locations if they are determined to go international. Mexico City is a huge market. It fits the AFC South. Games are already being played in that time zone regularly. Or you could go Toronto. This would likely require realignment but you could easily swap the Jags into the AFC East and move the Dolphins to the south.
I would consider Edmonton Oilers moving to Portland, Oregon, and merging with Winterhawks.
As much I would love that I can't see the oilers being the team to move here. They have a loyal fanbase. I could see the coyotes or the ducks on the other moving to pdx
@@kylesunderland7571 I only see ducks moving to San Diego. Coyotes would be moving to Phoenix, Houston, or Salt Lake City. For an NHL team to be placed in Portland, it would be a relocated team to make sense
No Canadian NHL Team is in Danger of Moving
I don't see Edmonton leaving. They also have the best arena in the NHL, in the opinion of a lot of people. Strong fan support too.
@@rushrush1209 The only Canadian team that dosent sell out is Ottawa but with a shit team, poor ownership, shit arena location, a boycott on Melnyk when he was alive and until recently covid restriction they still do well but things are looking up for the sens orginzation
2. Oakland Athletics to Las Vegas: I think this is sadly a matter or when rather then if
video idea: how the nfl could change to 40 teams in the future
Why this list stinks:
1. Inaccurate on Coyotes(Moved to Salt Lake already)
2. Did 2 1 team markets(Sacramento and Jacksonville) dirty
3. Included Hornets and As instead of Clippers and Bengals(Inaccurate from last list)
4. Worst part, NO OHIO TEAMS!
If I had to move any of these teams, the Pelicans would be the ones in Seattle, swapping division with the Thunder, and the Chargers would go to either Albuquerque or Salt Lake City(or just back to San Diego).
Heard the majority of the NHL Board of Directors including the head are interested in having an NHL team in Houston.
as a houstonian, we love our big 3 sports teams here, especially the astros right now. personally, ive been getting into hockey recently, being a stars and oilers fan (stars because its the closest team and oilers because of our long lost houston oilers football team), though idk how well hockey would work down here, given how much we celebrate when snow arrives once every decade (been happening more often recently but still)
@@tubbyidk1474 the Texans need to take back the Oilers name and colors. I grew up watching Warren Moon and miss the Oilers.
@@yellowmartian i was born long after the days of the houston oilers and boy do i still miss it. much better name than “texans”, and one of the best colors ive ever seen. so attached to the name oilers my second favorite nhl team is edmonton
Chargers to San Antonio makes a lot of sense
Even in San Diego, the Chargers didnt draw, and San Antonio is addicted to football
Move the Chargers to San Antonio/Austin and I can almost guarantee that there may be a 4th franchise in Texas, possibly in Lubbock or El Paso, where frankly nothing was, but Texas is growing
Kings have a new arena. They’re going nowhere.
Bring a championship calibre baseball team to the South Bronx.Its been decades...
8. Sacramento Kings to Seattle: Not Happening Sacramento just got a New Arena there not moving
In a way the Athletics already play in Vegas. That's where the Las Vegas Aviators (their Triple-A affiliate) are located.
Good to see a TPS video about more than just the NFL.
Yeah me to
I agree.
I used to cheer for supersonic as a kid. they should renew this franchise.
I am a lifelong Sonics fan! All the rumors I read online say Seattle and Vegas are the top two choices for expansion, which Silver says will happen after they get the media rights deal done.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to move an NFL team to Canada? There are a lot of NFL fans in Canada and I think Calgary or Toronto would be great places for a team.
I totally agree with you but CFL won't let it happen... In 1979 we tried in montreal to make a push but the CFL went to the 🇨🇦 Supreme Court and got it blocked 😤😤😤
There's no NFL standard football stadium in Canada right now. The NFL doesn't want the CFL to fold because the NFL uses the CFL as an example that they aren't holding a monopoly in the football industry when they get sued.
@@email5023 I mean there IS the USFL and XFL
makes sense
Lack of Suitable Stadium and the CFL Canada's Largest Stadium is the Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton which I think holds 57K and both it and Edmonton are not big enough for the NFL
Virginia is Waaaayyyyyyy overdue for a pro sports team. The Commanders may train in VA but they are definitely not our team. We want something here so bad! The Kings almost decided to come here too but nobody ever brings that up in videos, Virginia Beach Kings has a killer ring to it don’t you think?! And Richmond could for sure handle a pro baseball team if anything, already got the TripleA Richmond Flying Squirrels there for the Braves farm system. We are long overdue in VA!
The Coyotes games at Mullett Arena are so much fun tho! They were in awful location in Glendale. Move them to the East Valley and they’ll be golden.
The jaguars relocating to London will be pretty difficult for the away teams to travel each week in my opinion
Fr khan already said jags aren’t relocating
They would have to cross the Atlantic for all their away games, while visiting teams will only have to do it once a season. On the other hand, jetlag tends to be worse when heading east so that would be to their advantage.
the panthers aren’t going anywhere
relax bud
No current NBA player has ever played against the Kings in the playoffs. 🏀
I really don’t think the NFL will allow relocation outside of the United States tbh
Yes Jacksonville should go to St Louis
@@roberthenry7922 Na I think they stay in Jacksonville but I think the commanders move out of DC to maybe St. Luis
@@roberthenry7922 jaguars aren’t relocating dude they already have plans for another stadium y’all just don’t want to talk about it
Ever since the rebrand from Hornets to Pelicans i noticed how the care and love the people here in New Orleans had just vanished. Nobody wanted the rebrand.
I think if the Kings locate, it should be either Cincinnati or Louisville. The Kings we originally in Cincinnati as the Royals so they have been clamoring for their return. And Kentucky is a big basketball state as well. So either city would be guaranteed big fan bases on both sides of the Ohio River.
They just built a new stadium lmao they’re not going no where
Thats why it's if big dawg lol not that they are. I didn't know they built a new arena though that's dope
@@MailmanAssassin Fr it’s so cool go kings
Cincinnati. College basketball runs the Bluegrass state.😼
Thats why a NBA team would be a good idea here too. We go crazy for basketball and having an NBA team would just strengthen that love. Plus players going from UK or UofL to the Kentucky NBA team would just make that love stronger.
How about moving the Leafs to Quebec City so they aren’t the city of Torontos problem anymore?
I live in Florida and I personally would not be happy with having no mlb teams in Florida
I can't see both the Ray's and Marlins moving I think out of the 2 it will be the Ray's due to the Marlins having the newer Ballpark and the larger TV market
But neither the Rays or Marlins have drawn a lot of fans, despite the Rays being good for a lot of years.
Pittsburgh needs a basketball team a what team would you think could relocate to Pennsylvania
New Orleans Pelicans
i’d love to see baseball back in montreal, but olympic stadium is FAR from an ideal venue. also, as much as i wanna see the sonics back in seattle, i would never wish for it at the cost of the kings. sacramento fans kick ass
I grew up west of Seattle. Even though I've lived in Oregon for 22 years, all my sports loyalties are in Seattle! At least once a week, I do a google search for NBA expansion. Seattle and Vegas are top 2 rumored choices! NBA commissioner Silver says they'll look at expansion after they get the media rights deal done.
Khan is investing a lot of money in Jax, and I don't see them leaving. They are finally getting things right with the team. Also London teams would face a logistical nightmare. I could see them trying to start another European league on a pro level, but there is no real farm system of college there that I know of.
lol they already did start one 2 years ago, look up the european league of football
I wish ballmer moved the clippers out of Los Angeles. Even if clippers win a title they still wouldn’t get any recognition from Los angelenos. Los Angeles always will be Laker Nation!!!
Ballmer is a smarter Donald Sterling! Should at least be in Anaheim if he wants Hollywood so badly!
Noooooooooo my hornets would never leave Charlotte
They did once, but that is only because The Charlotte Collosseum had to come down.
And freaking New Orleans had to keep Hornets name for years before they decided to change their name to the Pelicans. And we finally got the Hornets name back shortly afterward, but I'll still never forgive New Orleans for that.
Give Cincinnati back the Kings. They were ours first. Seattle doesn't deserve them.
Keep up the good work
Can't have any team in Europe full time until air travel makes the next step forward.

You do realize the Carolina hurricanes have better attendance than the Toyota center can handle right??? And Charlotte CANNOT support hockey. They don’t give a crap about hockey
As an A’s fan, I would love if the relocation rumors was merely to San Jose. We have a passionate fanbase but many of us don’t want to give Fisher any money when the team gets rid of its best players.
The A's have tried to move to San Jose in the past but the Giants claim it as there territory
I believe the reason why Bettman kept supporting the Coyotes for so long is that he was the one who spearheaded the implantation of hockey team in the desert markets, thinking it would work.
Relocating them would therefore prove that he was wrong, which he doesn't want to admit, therefore he treats them as the God Emperor of the league.
Puerto Rico Jaguars sounds cool and based in San Juan, PR they can even call Hiram Bithorn Stadium home
Here's how I think a London team could work logistically: The London franchise would have an east coast city like Hartford or Bangor as a home base. The players and coaches live there and that's where their practice facility is. Every Saturday night during the season they get on an airplane and return immediately after the game. In exchange for the travel hassle, players on the London team would get an automatic 3-5% bonus that doesn't count against the salary cap.
OK... but why should the players be paid more?! Makes no sense. Everything is organized for them! What's it their matter flying 4 hours or 6 hours?!?? Would also go against fairness on NFL PA! Players would be all eager joining a team where you earn automatically 5% more!
The addtl money makes sense in administration costs for a real bigger effort!
But doing this just for London is bogus anyway. NFL needs a real entire European Division and there is no real hassle why the headquarter/training facility/own stadium shouldn't be in Frankfurt, Vienna, Paris, London!
@@BEEyonced Without some kind of bonus, the London team would be at a competitive disadvantage. No quality veteran free agent would ever want to play for that team.
@@indianapatsfan There will never ever be just 1 European Team to the US League. They are progressing to a European Division. The 17th Game is all set for it with ultimately having 16 International Games over the next years expansion! Then the Re-Location from Khan with the Jaguars to his hometown is a high possibility! But there will be 3(/4) new teams needed anyway. And I guess a lot of players are eager to play for these 4 new teams instead being stuck at Practice Squad or a job outside NFL! I watched NFL yrs before Panthers/Jaguars/Texans! It's just a snap.
It's totally impractical. If the NFL never considered Honolulu, they'll definitely ignore London.
@@davidlafleche1142 London is probably 30 to 40 times bigger than Honolulu.
We may finally get back the Montreal Expos and the Seattle SuperSonics! And I’ve been waiting for the Athletics to get out of that awful Oakland coliseum for so long. Vegas is a nice relocation!
Relocation is one thing but expansion would be bad.
The problem with moving the rays out of "tampa" is that they now have plans for a new stadium
i say chargers to stl
Given Texas only has 2 NFL teams never really made sense that Florida has 3.
A new montreal team would have to be NL have the marlins move to montreal and the rays to nashville
It would be through expansion.
The marlins probably won't relocate... fingers crossed
@@anthony_rivera4735 The MLB won't relocate both the Ray's and Marlins and the Marlins have a pretty young ball park and the Miami TV Market is bigger then Tampa
no thanks keep that crap out of Canada you guys can have the Blue Jays
The Las Angeles Clippers should move to St. Louis
or Kansas City
not happening, they are currently building a new arena in LA
@@adrienchl4265 O.K.
They should go back to Buffalo
Seattle and Las Vegas will get NBA expansion teams. Far more $ with expansion feed there than having an existing team move. Otherwise, someone - Minnesota, NOLA, someone - would have moved by now.
