The Raiders & the Rams left Los Angeles more because of not having new stadiums than because of lack of fan support. What kept NFL teams out of Los Angeles for so long was lack of an acceptable(re: brand spanking new) stadium with luxury boxes.
NFL BS against my Raiders at it's finest!

This was NOTHING on Goodell. EVEN if wanted to help, the other owners would have shot him down.
The Mayor of LA has stated multiple times he ONLY wanted to the Rams.

It was NOT the Raiders who did not want to share. The 49ers, when this was in the planning phase was the "it" team at the time and my Raiders sucked crap. The ownership of the 49ers did not want a loser franchise and our wacked out fans. Our fans are STILL wacked out, but the Raiders are slowly becoming the "it" team with their improvement and they are a WORLD brand. Things have more or less reversed.
More like how much did not come out of FUTURE VOTERS pockets to fund the stadium? "I was able to bring an improving professional NFL team to the city without costing the city an arm and a leg..can my competitor say the same?"
