COMPTON BROTHERS DAYS IN LA-AREA ARE NUMBERED

With the announcement that the Los Angeles Silverhawks would be moving to a new stadium development in Carson, CA, the Compton Brothers knew their time in the city was over.

An offer was made for the team to share the new development with the Silverhawks, who moved from Nevada in 2014 and despite having never made the playoffs were more popular amongst younger fans, due to their ownership by Viacom, who would broadcast team tie-ins on children's networks and other media holdings. The venerable Brothers franchise, who suffered from poor ownership for years were more popular with older fans, but the sign that a new stadium was going up for a team that's not the Brothers (due to a lack of anti-trust rules in MILF) was the sign the team's days in the Los Angeles area were over.

The Brothers have shored up their ownership situation in the form of new owner, English magnate Olney Cox, but now he found himself with a team and no city to play in.

The Brothers plan to make an announcement about their impending future in the coming days.
