It’s weird that the three teams that have applied for relocation to Los Angeles all played there previously. I guess they forgot why they left.

I remember back in the day when both Jack and Jim Youngblood played for the Rams. One of them (IIRC) was complaining loudly about "our damn white-wine drinking fans."

Los Angeles fans may be the most devastating in all of sports because if you don't win, we don't care!

The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference.

The Rams left because of it. The Raiders left because of it. It will take very little time for the new team(s) to realize it as well.

(note: as far as sports goes, I am always an L.A. fan as I was born, raised and lived there until a few years ago).

The Chargers played there too, but only for the first season of their existence (1960), as the Los Angeles Chargers. The Rams effectively drove them out, to San Diego.

The Oakland Raides moved to Los Angeles, then back to Oakland. Now they want to move back to Los Angeles?

And the Rams— why did you leave LA in the first place? And now you want to go back?

The franchise trade of teh Los Angeles Rams for the Baltimore Colts arguably cost both cities their teams.
