NFL owners reportedly not happy with Los Angeles Chargers' move

NFL owners reportedly were not happy with the Chargers' move to Los Angeles, but remain hopeful that the team might reverse course and remain in San Diego.

The Chargers announced after the season that they were leaving their longtime home to become the second NFL franchise to relocate in LA in the past year, following the Rams' move back to California from St. Louis.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Friday that one of his sources said the NFL was "beside itself" with the Chargers' decision to pull up stakes.

League officials apparently believe there's not much chance that chairman Dean Spanos would change his mind. The ESPN report did not mention specific reasons for the league's discontent with the Chargers.

The Chargers so far have received a somewhat chilly reception in LA, making several missteps.

The team's new logo with LA fashioned into the image of a lightning bolt was mocked and new head coach Anthony Lynn made a slip of the tongue during an introductory news conference. Team representatives were booed when they were announced at a Lakers game.

Back in San Diego, several movers refused this week to help and a website, WeWontMoveYouChargers.com, that had 24 professional moving companies agreeing not to assist with the physical relocation.

The league's reported behind-the-scenes displeasure differs from the public impression of support that commissioner Roger Goodell offered after the relocation was announced.

"Relocation is painful for teams and communities. It is especially painful for fans, and the fans in San Diego have given the Chargers strong and loyal support for more than 50 years, which makes it even more disappointing that we could not solve the stadium issue," Goodell said. "As difficult as the news is for Charger fans, I know Dean Spanos and his family did everything they could to try to find a viable solution in San Diego."

CBS Sports reported earlier this month that several owners expressed "grave concerns" about a second team in LA after the city was without a NFL franchise for 21 years.
