Joseph W. Cotchett who represented the bondholders had represented years
earlier the Los Angles Ram football team and owner Georgia Frontiere
during the lawsuit of Al Davis and the Raiders vs the NFL. Both the
Raiders and the Rams wanted to move their teams. Al Davis won his lawsuit, moved his team to LA, but finally moved the Raiders are back to Oakland, after he could never get a new football stadium built, in the LA area.
Los Angeles no longer has a football team.
