I'm pretty bummed as a Raiders fan but not surprised. It's kind of a travesty that of the three cities St. Louis really wanted to keep their team and was willing to put up $400 million for a new stadium and the NFL deemed they were the best fit for LA over the Raiders and Chargers who both have zero chance of getting facilities built in Oakland or San Diego. Money talks and Kroenke has more than all owners save one.

Could you imagine if say if the Panthers, Coyotes and Flames wanted to go to Las Vegas and the owners decided the Flames were the best fit to relocate? Pretty ridiculous but it is what it is.

I imagine the Chargers are forced to become the 2nd team in LA as they can't go back to San Diego and the Raiders are likely looking at St. Louis, San Antonio or maybe even San Diego. Sounds from post interviews like Davis doesn't want any part of going back to Oakland.
