L.A. didn't want an NFL team there...the NFL wanted a team there.

Look at the USA top 10 cities (2010/2012 numbers), all big NFL, MLB, NBA cities but two....did the NFL try to force the fit and it backfired?
1New York City; New York 8,175,1338,336,697161,5642Los Angeles; California 3,792,6213,857,79965,1783Chicago; Illinois 2,695,5982,714,85619,2584Houston; Texas 2,099,4512,160,82161,3705Philadelphia; Pennsylvania 1,526,0061,547,60721,6016Phoenix; Arizona 1,445,6321,488,75043,1187San Antonio; Texas 1,327,4071,382,95155,5448San Diego; California 1,307,4021,338,34830,9469Dallas; Texas 1,197,8161,241,16243,34610San Jose; California 945,942982,76536,82Oh FYI of the top 50 cities only two had population decreases from 2010 to 2012 Cleveland and Detroit.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

Texas has been threatening to succeed for decades. Texans really look down on the rest of us.
in 1979 when Yankees like me were moving there in droves, they wanted to pull the trigger on succeeding to keep us out. Texas really is its own little country. When I was there it was perfectly legal to drink and drive with a gun in the vehicle, you just could not drive drunk. They had drive thru liquor stores.
We haven't just been threatening to "succeed."

Oh....the NFL most definitely tried (and succeeded) to force the fit. Though I guess they could have gotten nowhere with that if they did not have an owner (Kroenke) who was willing to put up most of the money to build the stadium....in the belief that he will make a pile more money from it. I suspect that the state of California said nyet when it came to putting in money. And correct me if I am wrong....the new stadium ibeing built is not actually in the City of Los Angeles proper...but in some suburb. Ergo I suspect that the city/county didn't contribute much to the stadium.
But, I guess it is a fair deal for LA......they just got named host of the 2028 Summer Olympics....and that Stadium is supposed to be a prime venue.

The stadium will be a huge venue for the Olympics. Kronke paid for most of the stadium as I understand it but then also got some concessions from the league in exchange for giving them office space there and the NFL combine will be held in LA once the stadium is done and there will be other events as well. The new stadium is in Inglewood, right near the Forum (where the Lakers and Kings used to play before Staples center) and its about a 10 minute drive from the airport.

Depending on time of day you bet... but I have to say Cali drivers are among the best I've been on the road with.
A year ago tooling around Sacramento over to the Bay Area and up to NAPA when traffic got a little heavy folks just slowed, stayed in their lanes and stayed reasonably spaced... for the most part... there's always a couple ass-hats, but far fewer than in Texas... or the NE, which is off the fuckin'-ass-hole charts... especially Connecticut.

And in Cali it's legal for motorcycles to go between cars lined up in two lanes (or more). Amazing!

Did not know it was legal, but they are pretty chill about it... going faster, but not fast. And not weaving... just riding the stripes.
I had a Rocket bike pass me on I-20 driving home from the kiddo's place in August. Must have been doing 150... I never saw him coming. Barely saw him going. Passed me on the right a few car lengths after I'd completed a pass and maybe 10 lengths shy of starting another pass. Had I elected to tuck in, he'd have been in my back seat.

LA has been terrible-horrible-no-good for the Raiders since the beginning of time .. was a Raiders game ever not blacked out at home? .. and now they think it's magically delicious enough for 2 different teams? At least the Raiders were fake bad-ass so LA could half cheer for that.. Can't say the same for Rams and Chargers..
When I lived in Baltimore and DC seemingly once a month I'd be driving somewhere and I'd see a [the?] bike gang riding the outerbelt doing standup rear peg wheelies at 70mph.. Luckily, the hospital always needs more trauma level 1 visits..
