No pro sports in Austin, either, while there are tons of pro sports in LA and Miami.
True, and that's a thing. But up until a few years ago, there was no pro football in LA (if you don't count players getting paid at USC to be "pro"). 

If USC actually starts being good again, they'll get interest. Even with the Rams and Chargers (and a sizable Raiders fan contingent). 

The other thing is scale. There's 20M people in the LA megalopolis. Sure, you're not going to get 80% of them caring about USC, but you don't need 80% to end up with a big number of supportive fans when your percentage is out of 20M.

no beaches with half naked women either in Austin- FYI. There's just a shitload of stuff to do in LA and Miami- stuff to get into that there just isn't in Austin or Columbus.

I know they have grown quite large over the last couple decades, but I still don't think of Austin or Columbus as big-cities in the same way I think of LA- which obviously a massive city-2nd largest in US- or Miami/SoFL which has just a shitload of people.

I like how Raiders fans in Oakland and LA just remain loyal to the team as they move around from one city to the next. 

Quite different to the reaction in other places. 

Maybe it's a Cali thing, I dunno. Do San Diego fans still follow the Chargers?

My LA Rams friends rooted for them even when they were in St. Louis.  Weird.

Houston Oilers fans were decidedly NOT rooting for the Titans.

Yeah, I doubt many St Louis Rams fans still root for them. Unless of course they have relocated to LA themselves.

Yeah, a lot of local Rams fans still rooted for them when they were in STL. And Raiders fans are a completely psychotic subculture, which didn't dissipate when they left for Oakland, nor when they went to LV. 

Nobody cares about the Chargers.

Mel Tucker is getting a big raise. This very likely ends with MSU paying him a large chunk of change to not coach MSU. What a time.

The Chargers fan base in San Diego gave up as soon as Dean Spanos moved the team to Carson.  

Unfortunately they are locked into something like a 40 year lease at Sofi, so the next owner couldn't do anything even if they felt so inclined. Lots of empty seats and visiting fans for the foreseeable future.

And the LA fans are so happy to have the Rams back that they're like "Char-who?"

Chargers became the immediate #2 redheaded stepchild much like the Clippers and the Angels. But at least the Angels are in Orange County, so they have a local fan base--even if they changed their name to the stupid-ass "Los Angeles Angels" when they're not even in LA County...
