Could Chargers Be For Sale?

[Iggloo]

Looks like the Spanos family is bickering and some of the heirs are trying to force a sale of the team because the family trust is in financial trouble.

Potential rumored buyer: Jeff Bezos.

Good. Sell it to Bezos so he doesn't buy the Redskins.

My plan is to position the Chargers for the $1 pick every year and trade it to the Pats!
Fans will need a lot of those $20 beers.....

The NFL would be better off without the Spanos family being involved. If the Spanos family don't get themselves out then the other owners will eventually intervene.

Could they get them out of politics too?????

If every group of lousy/shade owners was kicked out, never mind.

I might as well start a hypothetical about every lousy politician in DC...

The family trust is pledging money to charities and can't pay. Hey folks, this is simple. First tell the members of the board that they're all fired and the expense accounts are cancelled immediately. Then contact every charity or stiff that has been promised something and say "Sorry. Well is dry. No more freebies. Find another asshole to fund you. Bye bye." Problem solved. No one is legally bound to give anything to a charity, even if it's promised. Promises are like campaign speeches, meant to be broken.

Sounds more like the Bererian family is running out of money and wants an infusion of new cash. The "other two siblings" and Deam Spanos don't appear to be in such a big hurry. Sounds like Dea wants to cash in on the new TV deal.

Exactly. As a former SoCal resident, the Chargers have been run into the ground for decades by bad family ownership. It looks like that is going to come to an end soon, and I would like to see them move the Chargers out of LA, at least down to Orange County somewhere.

Chargers should be run around on a Gypsy caravan......

Perhaps, if we all pool our monies?

Imagine the board room discussion. We would have to keep moderators as Sargents at arms.

Generally bad coaching and ownership isn't really the business of the other owners unless something steps over the line. Should the Jets be sold because they've sucked for decades? Yeah, it would be good to not have a perpetual doormat in the AFC East, but it shouldn't be a league popularity contest. Likewise, the Browns and Bengals are decades-long losers. The Redskins have been a shit show under Snyder, but the most anyone has actually done is make them change a popular name and logo to be more politically correct and sound stupid.

It has nothing to do with win/lose records and/or politics.

The NFL is the golden goose of professional sports. It's almost impossible to NOT be able to make a crap ton of money with an NFL franchise. However, the Spanos family have managed to screw things up so badly they couldn't sell out the tickets to home fans in the smallest NFL venue. Now they can't pay the stadium/moving cost of being a tenant to someone else and other owners are having to pay their debts. If the Spanos family can't turn things around fairly quickly the other owners will take away the franchise rights and sell it to whomever they choose.

It's all about earning money.
