“Los Angeles gets an unwarranted rap as a bad sports town...”

Now that’s fake news. It is true that fans won’t show up unless you’re a winner, and LA fans don’t rush out for the latest NFL transplant in an old venue, but bad sports town? Really?

When you add up all the Olympics, Super Bowls, World Series, NBA and NHL finals, plus Rose Bowl Games, you won’t find another city that can match that record. On weekends when USC and UCLA both play home football games, the combined crowd exceeds most every other major football power. Oh, soccer is big here too.

Yeah, bad sports town.

The weather accounts for the biggest reason for most of those events.

If you want to see real Fans, come to Philadelphia. Or, better yet, watch us on Sunday in LA.
