I do, however, think the NFL can do well in LA now. The NFL is a different product than it was 20+ years ago. Popularity is at an all time high, as is the glamour of the game if you will. The name "LA Rams" is iconic, appeals to new & old fans, people want in.

Time to cheer for the Rams. No shame in that. I just flew over that stadium site last Friday. I like the location. I like Inglewood. I am 31 so I remember the Rams and Raiders in LA. Shocked they both moved the same year but even more shocked its taken 21 years. Rams belong in LA. Chargers belong in another state at this point. Raiders need to stay in NorCal and tap into that market. If not Oakland, Sacramento.
