I agree. Any team that moved to L.A. would likely increase in value, but I doubt the league as a whole would benefit all that much. This isn't baseball where a major market club brings higher ratings and the tv networks pray for New York or Chicago or L.A. to be in the finals.As far as LA goes, the issue to me is always that the people that live there already follow one NFL team or another. It isn't like they don't get to watch games there. If Jacksonville suddenly moved to LA would a bunch of new fans suddenly discover the NFL and start watching them on tv? I don't really think so.
I think the gains for the league would be minimal. If they were significant, then it would have been done already.
