Not entirely accurate.

The blackout rule was created while the Rams played at the Coliseum, meaning they could get 85,000 a game and still be blacked out in the country's second largest market. That's why they moved to Anaheim so at least the top half of Greater Los Angeles would be outside the blackout radius if there wasn't a sellout. Still, Anaheim was less than ideal, and ownership was even more less than ideal, so they didn't do well on the business end.

Now the blackout rule is gone. There's no reason to think that football won't work in Los Angeles at this point.
