They have no perception of anything sports related except USC or the Lakers when they're good.
I've been in a traffic jam during the first Q of the Super Bowl - trying to get to our party. My friend and I wanted to get out and yell at everybody and ask where the hell they were going.
I was at a party Sat night, I had to ask nicely to put the Cowboys/Rams game on w/o sound. If I didn't know the host pretty well I wouldn't have even tried. Luckily there was another football fan there.
This is totally standard at any party for any game except the Super Bowl, including game 7 of the World Series. I had to put on game 7 of the AZ/NYY world series at my friend's party, and the ending was so exciting a few people actually got into the game.
The other 5% are fans of other teams. There are no Rams fans.

What part of LA do you live in? I'm in Studio City and my feelings are:
There are shit tons of Chiefs fans. Three bars in my area are overflowing with red.
There are shit tons of Rams fans.
There are no Chargers fans.
As for people not caring about putting on sports at a party, well you nailed that one. Most transplants here are theater majors, after all.
