Quote:  There's a separate issue.  One in which I definitely believe that star power and the quality of the team are important components for an NFL Franchise in Los Angeles to have.   Especially,  when considering there's a large number of NFL fans in the LA area that root for other teams,  in part because they are originally from other areas.   Not to mention the LA area having 2 MLB teams, 2 NBA teams,  2 NHL teams,  Soccer being big in LA,  and two major college programs.   This is the 2nd largest market in the U.S.   Yet,  there's plenty of competition for the dollar,  including TV ratings. 
 

 

There's no need to fret competition for the entertainment dollar as there are plenty of entertainment dollars to go around in LA. It's posh to point out the lackadaisical attitude toward the NFL back when the Raiders and Rams left,  but consider for a second that there are entirely new generations of fans in the region. Even if the team is a perennial loser and most of the area couldn't care less about them, there would still be plenty enough fans who do care. It's simply that huge.


 

It's similar in New York City. You see, there's not a single county in America where the majority of its fans are Jets fans, and that team has a rather extensive history of losing, and yet they still maintain a very strong fan base.
