I just don't see a team in Los Angeles ever. There is just too much political infighting to actually get a stadium built plus the fact that the local fanbase doesn't really care about the NFL all that much. Being transplants in the majority they tend to root for their hometown teams. Also Los Angeles is a notorious frontrunner fanbase so that makes it even harder.
While your right about the stadium politics, I couldn't disagree more with the rest of your post. Most of the people I know have at least one person in their household who love the NFL. The reason we all love different teams is because we haven't had one in 20 years. That's why I started rooting for the Hawks, because the Raiders and Rams abandoned us.
If a team came to LA they would be accepted with open arms, but it does have to be the right team. Most people I talk to are hoping it's a new team or there's at least a name change. If it's the Raiders most of my friends would love it. There are still a ton of Rams fans here too. I'm personally hoping for a new team who I can adopt as my second team or the Rams so I can watch the Seahawks in LA once a year.
As far as being frontrunners, that must be why I picked the Seahawks 20 yrs ago.
