NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was on hand on Wednesday to celebrate the arrival of the Chargers in Los Angeles. Five players – Philip Rivers, Jason Verrett, Joey Bosa, Melvin Gordon and Brandon Mebane – were in attendance, as was CEO Dean Spanos, among others.

However despite the fact that many of the most prominent members of the Chargers organization were standing right there, Goodell’s focus and praise kept landing elsewhere.

Multiple reporters at the event noted that Goodell seemed more preoccupied with Rams owner Stan Kroenke, as well as his extravagant, $2.6 billion dollar stadium currently under construction in Inglewood.

Technically Goodell is correct. The relocation of the Rams and Chargers to Los Angeles is all because of Kroenke’s insane wealth and personal dedication to building an opulent entertainment metropolis.

Still, it’s incredibly tone deaf to celebrate that fact at an event that is welcoming a team just as it has been ripped from its fan base and stuck in the metaphorical corner of Carson, CA to collect dust for a couple of years.
