The NFL is returning to the Los Angeles area after a 21-year absence. On Tuesday night, the NFL owners voted, 30-2, to approve the request by the Rams to move to Inglewood, a suburb near LAX, from St. Louis. That vote disregarded a recommendation from an NFL committee to approve an alternate joint venture in another L.A. suburb, Carson, for the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers. In a compromise, the Chargers were given a one-year option to join the Rams in Inglewood, and if they can't reach agreement with Rams owner Stan Kroenke in that time, the Raiders will get a shot.
