pokerjoe Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 So they fold the team, instead of selling it? Wow. Glad to see it go, though. Was always a bad idea. Plenty of good places to expand to. Vegas, sure, or San Diego, or Inland Empire. But at some point they need to raise the minimum wage in this league. It's time to start raising the quality of play. As the massive sellouts of top Euro squads show, if you get the top players, you get the top money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inkwell77 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Reading about it a little I do think that a stadium in East LA would be cool Or the Inland Empire as Joe recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
