You're absolutely right. The weird thing is that when I moved out here 12 years ago, I would have pegged the Chargers as the number one LA team. Of course there were lingering Rams and Raiders fans, but Chargers jerseys were all over the place. I guess it's because they were the closest team currently. I think the Chargers saw that sort of thing and thought they would translate well, not counting on the Rams having the throwback appeal and head start.
The Chargers are the guy who breaks up with his long time girlfriend because a hotter girl flirted with him a few times. Not likely to work out.
