Why won't Angelenos support an NFL team? Probably because we're not stupid enough to shell out taxpayer money for a new stadium or to improve our existing stadiums.
Keep that poor excuse for a football team out of here! No one supported the Rams or the Raiders because neither one of the owners were interested in putting a good football team toghether. They didn't care who was on the field, as long as people came to see them. When people wised up and stoped going to the games, they went somewhere else to start over again. If they bring the Saints to LA, then everyone here will be forced to watch their games on TV every week, instead of being able to watch interesting games.
drevl and HATER got it right L.A. should'nt have another team. let the fans whine about and then maybe they'll want to support a team in a year or two.
I agree with rongee on the public spending but that doesn't really explain why fans didn't fill the seats when the 2 r's played there.
Count me in for bringing the Rams back to LA. Any team that gave us NBC stars Merlin Olsen and Fred Dryer needs to return. Plus they gave Suge Knight a try-out.
I kinda like the alliteration in "San Antonio Saints," and I'd love to to see SA get a football team, but if NO is going to be rebuilt, it darnwell ought to get its Aints back.
Los Angeles is a cinema where they never ask you to leave... (Roddy Woomble of Idlewild) Unless, of course, you are a pro football franchise.
Both L.A. teams left for sweetheart deals elsewhere--not because they were supportedly all that badly. And remember this: if 90% of people in L.A. County couldn't care less about the NFL, that would still leave more people caring than the entire population of San Antonio or New Orleans.
Sorry mrbadexample. I guess I should have used some Warren Zevon lyrics to illustrate my point. That is, if I had one...
