You are right that they will WHITEwash the bleachers with these extras.

But, they ought to know better. The best NFL fan ever is a BLACK DUDE! For those who don't know.... here's the legendary black Skins fan celebrating white GOAT RB RIGGO in awesome politically-incorrect attire...

"FIRE UP THAT DIESEL!"

For the second time this season, the Eagles will be playing a home game in SoCal. The Chargers game was an embarrassment for the NFL. Today is going to be worse as the Green Legion of Eagles fans flew out to LA in addition to the scores of Philadelphia transplants living in SoCal.

Why does LA need two football teams again?

The government needs to stop subsidizing the NFL

28 of 31 stadiums have received government money/subsidies to build the stadiums. And the military used to pay for the "support of our armed services" BS stuff before the game and halftime. And up until recently, they were a non for profit. Let them collapse under their own weight and if they want to move, let them

True dat. The majority in attendance were indeed Eagles fans at the Chargers game. Fly Eagles Fly!

You mean like Trump hired actors to fill his press conferences?

Of course broadcast audiences are seeded. Join us in the real world.

Do you honestly think live audiences that laugh are all 100% people "off the street?" It doesn't pay well, but you'll work all the time if you can deliver a convincing laugh. You make much more steady money warming up television audiences if you are a comedian that can work a room.

Like every industry, a couple of teams could actually survive unsubsidized. I would include the Raiders if the NFL were smart enough to let them play in L.A.

That's pretty ignorant.

Deals are made to benefit both sides.

What you're saying is like saying you subsidize stores when you buy things from them.

But to the point of this thread, LA doesn't deserve any NFL teams if they can't support them.

The Eagles fans are so loud, that the Rams offense has to go to a silent count. Hilarious.

What a misleading subject line. Tickets go for well over $100 for good teams and average $84 for all teams.

The NFL is doing very well.
