What happens to Bolts from the Blue if the San Diego Chargers decide to leave town and become the Los Angeles Chargers?

I have no idea. I imagine it continues to cover the Chargers, as Turf Show Times still covers the Rams, but I have no clue if Richard would continue to run the site and/or if any of the remaining staff would leave.
