Never been to L.A. but most the NFL fans are still the Raiders even though they left after '94. Chargers are the only Southern Cali team yet L.A. isn't too quick to embrace them.

It used to be RAIDER NATION around here but that was maybe 10 years ago. Many and i mean many new younger LA NFL fans haver never rooted or will root for the Raiders. Chargers and BAy area teams are considered the enemies. we opted for out of state teams to rrot for or may wait for a new franchise to come to LA.

I imagine the younger fans claim USC and just root for whoever is good in the NFL (like Green Bay, Pittsburgh etc) Even Snoop Dogg is a die hard Steelers fan. Hell, I joke about USC being LA's NFL team from time to time.

The reason is the LA Market really only has room for the Lakers. There political leadership doesn't have the will to bring the Chargers to town. Besides LA is "Raiders" territory
