It would be something else if LA took 2 professional Buffalo sports franchises.
Apparently Buffalo cares far more about hockey than football (making it a football town) and the economic hardships there are greater than like every other city in America, save for one, so it is unfair to have a football team there taking money from all the poor people with no jobs.
They should have the temptation of wasting hundreds to thousands of dollars on tickets, gas, tail gating, concessions, unleaded fuel, etc taken away to make sure that the city and the inhabitants livelihood and finances can be salvaged. If anything, it will allow for LA people (who I'm sure you despise) to have millions of their dollars (as a collective
whole) wasted, helping lead to their degradation.

Stupidity. The reason there aren't two teams there now is that the fan base doesn't support them. West coast fans are apathetic. San Diego has trouble selling out games and they're a GOOD team with, and Los Angeles thinks it will have no trouble sellout out TWO teams, taking from that list where most of those teams suck and don’t have a marketable superstar?
The only things that make sense are moving ONE of either the Jaguars or Chargers. The Jaguars can't even sell out with tarped seats, and are odd man out in a team already saturated with football. San Diego is down there anyways, so you're only inconveniencing their fans somewhat, and they too have trouble selling out.
The Bills generate tons of revenue for the city. Moving them is not a financial solution.
And LA didn’t take the Braves.
