No, he's saying that he'd love to have the team he roots for play their games closer to where he lives.
I honestly dont understand this train of thought? They had the Rams and Raiders and couldn't keep neither. For as many people that are in the city why is that? They dont deserve a team because it's not a football town.
You shouldn't speak from the position of outright ignorance that you appear to be in. LA has done fine without the NFL because it doesn't need the NFL nearly as much as the NFL needs it. LA isn't going to cowtow to some owner's demand for public financing of stadiums or anything. LA has the correct mindset here, and the new stadium is being financed privately as a result. That was always the holdup. Not because LA isn't a "football town", whatever that means. There's a huge football fanbase in LA....easily bigger than the one in the Bay Area for sure.
