Los Angeles is easily one of the worst, if not THE worst sports town in America.
But your post is one reason that the league will NOT put a team there. They can always spout of irrelavent stuff like what you said and threaten to move there if they don't get a publicly funded stadium.

How do you figure that LA is one of the worst sports towns? The Dodgers are #2 in attendance in MLB. The Lakers essentially sell out every game and are #8. The Kings are #11 out of 30 teams even though they have been bad for years. We are the only market with two MLS teams and the Galaxy typically lead the league in attendance even though they have by far the highest ticket prices.
What LA isn't about to do is stuff the pockets of NFL owners with public tax money which is what they want. There are smaller cities that are much more desperate for something to do on Sundays than LA that would gladly vote to have their taxpayers fund a stadium. They can have it. I disagree with your reasoning, but I do like being able to see so many doubleheaders on Sunday.
But if you mean by one of the worst sports towns that we have more people that would rather be outdoors participating than watching on weekends I can agree with that. If you mean that more sports are popular here than other places, including beach volleyball, surfing, and x-game sports, then I agree with that as well.
