It's a slightly different situation than when the Browns left Cleveland, just to use an example of a bad way to leave a town. All three teams have L.A history, and probably still have fans. The problem would be in the two AFCwest teams trying to share a stadium when their fans hate each other. I can't see that going well at all. And the Rams are just leveraging for a new stadium.
Interesting side note: the proposed stadium location is one of my old neighborhoods. The several times I moved in and out of L.A were right in that area, and I lived right off Del Amo a few times growing up, in Lakewood (and Southgate and Lynwood) areas. Don't know what it's like now but back then it was an average suburban working class neighborhood. I understand it's gone downhill somewhat since. Lynwood and Southgate and Compton etc were always shitholes, gangland. With that mix should be fun throwing a stadium in the middle of it.
