That was one season in the much less popular AFL.

I understand enough to know the Raiders are in Oakland and they were only in LA for 13 years and haven't been in LA in over 20 years. Are you an A's fan too? How about them Warriors?

I think there is a racial divide. The Raiders fans tend to be more South LA, and thus, more black and Hispanic, etc. A lot of older Angelenos (and people in OC) tend to still like the Rams.

Right, the LA Raiders are synomous with gang culture. Most LA native football fans I know are Cowboys fans.

America wants to know whats with all the empty seats?? Its makes the league look bad. Owners need to realize LA is not excited for NFL. The NFL just wants a Superbowl there and they using these 2 teams to fund a stadium there. Just put the Superbowl in LA, they dont need teams there just to force it.

Which is a shame since the Chargers would probably be good if they can stay healthy.
Has the NFL ever funded a stadium before?

I have been a Rem's fan for probably close to 70 years, still am unless they play the Skins like yesterday I will watch them when we can get them here in AR, I will follow them and am thrilled they are back in Los Angeles where they belong. It was hard for me to believe, a city the size of L.A. would go so many years without a pro football team. Now let's see how 2 work out? It didn't work to well back in the 70s.
