Why does LA not have an NFL team? Will they ever get a team? Watched a bit of 30 30 on espn ,out of LA of something like that.Hard to believe they still dont have a team.
There are three types of people in this world,those who can count and those who can not.

One reason is the city does not support their football teams unless they are winning. They lost two teams nearly 20 years ago because if this. Second is they never got a good package together during the relocation/expansion boom of the late 1990s. Then NFL seems to want no more expansion for now, so a team would have to relocate. The Bills may end up there when Ralph Wilson goes.

We have a lot of good options here besides football teams. Besides, We are all either Raiders fans or Chargers fans anyway and consider both of these teams to basically be LA teams. There are even a few oddball 49er fans around here. The bottom line is that there is not enough of a hunger around here for another football team that no one would really support a taxpayer funded stadium.
