As some of you probably know, the Chargers, Raiders, and Rams all applied for relocation.

Per ESPN, the Rams, the most recent team to move, want back in the L.A. market because St. Louis is a two sport town.

I'm not a huge fan of relocation in general but I understand it's something that happens and sometimes out of necessity.

That said, I have a real issue with a team moving from one market and then 20 years later deciding they want to move back to the market they previously left.  I don't think a franchise that left a market should be permitted to move back.

This would include the Raiders, who seem to make moving from L.A. to Oakland a bizarre franchise trend (Moved to LA from Oakland in '82; then back to Oakland in '95).
