Goodell, gotta love that rat bastard. LOL! And Al Davis wannabe Jerry Jones can kiss my @$$ as well!
For those reasons, Jones was the strongest voice in favor of the Rams moving to Inglewood. But the Rams moving alone wasn't getting the support it needed. To get it, a second team would have to be included. And thus, the night before the owners meeting in Houston, the game changed.
"At 10 p.m., the Chargers and Raiders received a curious email from league officials: a proposal for one of the two teams to share Inglewood with the Rams. It was a modified version of a resolution Jones had submitted the previous weekend, calling for the Rams and Chargers to share Inglewood. Spanos and his associates were offended. The eleventh-hour email suggested that before the owners voted, the league was laying the groundwork for its own solution."
Then comes one of the few times in the piece where the Raiders even come up in anything more than a minor detail. And it was to promote the negative stereotype about the Raiders and their fans that the report says some owners still hold as well as supposed grudges against Al Davis.
"The silent majority preferred the Inglewood site but liked Spanos better than Kroenke. Most owners wanted to avoid a Raiders return to Los Angeles, owing to Al Davis' burned bridges and the co-opting of the team apparel by gangs, concerns so deep that some wouldn't even consider Carson. "It's hard to get owners to move," [Bob] Iger says now. "Each one is a boss in his own right."
