Social media reaction to Rams relocation

Published: Jan 12, 2016 at 01:30 PM

NFL owners approved the Rams' relocation to Los Angeles on Tuesday with a vote of 30-2.

The Rams could be joined by the Chargers, who have a one-year option to decide if they want to relocate and join the Rams in Inglewood. The window creates the possibility -- however slight -- that the Chargers could remain in San Diego. The Raiders -- the third team that had L.A. aspirations -- withdrew their application for relocation on Tuesday and will work with the league toward a stadium solution, most likely in Oakland. If the Chargers do not exercise their option to move to Los Angeles, the Raiders will have a one-year option to join the Rams in Inglewood.

Here's how current and former NFL players reacted to the news:
