YoloinOhio Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 They clearly love football enough to deserve 2 nfl teams 4 Quote
Success Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 I was happy for some of the players on the Rams. But for that fanbase, it's just a minor distraction from drama w/ the Lakers. 3 Quote
The Frankish Reich Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 It's an interesting result. Seat of the pants analysis: a lot of this has to do with the percentage of foreign-born (excluding Canadian) residents. American football, is, well (North) American. Los Angeles simply doesn't have the demographics to drive Top 10 football viewership. Many of the rust belt cities do. 1 Quote
LeGOATski Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Not surprised. The NFL is gonna make their TV money either way, so they don't care. 3 Quote
Coffeesforclosers Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 May as well start calling them the Los Angeles Kroenkes. Once Stan is done demolishing Arsenal he can really turn the screws on the Rams. Quote
CA OC Bills Fan Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 I'm home in CA this week. It was in the mid 80s on Sunday afternoon and sunny. Most people in this area could care less about the Lambs. Of course there are many who do care and the population of SO CAL is very high, but based on the ratings, doesn't seem like the percentage that care are high. 1 Quote

I totally agree with this but admittedly just bitter that there is one fan base and city that gets to end the season happy, and it’s one that is bandwagon and/or doesn’t care.

I’m guess not sure why it matters what the weather is like during the game. We have 80 degrees and sunny during plenty of football games in the fall and it doesn’t impact whether I watch the games. 2 1 Quote

But for that fanbase, it's just a minor distraction from drama w/ the Lakers. I think this was LA's last championship for some time. The Lakers have done basically what the Rams did. Leveraged their future picks for this year. And in the Lakers case it was a colossal fail. I think the Dodgers have peaked too. Quote
Greg S Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 LA is Lakers and Dodgers town. It was never a great NFL market. The Rams left for St. Louis and the Raiders went back to Oakland. What does that tell you. As was already mentioned the league already made its money so they don't care. 1 Quote
Malazan Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) TV Ratings is a really poor term. For example, I would not be counted in TV ratings, but I watched the Superbowl. Then you have that ratings are a percentage, not a straight up number. So 10% of LA watching might be more people than 40% of Cincinnati. This is also based on roughly 21,000 households that are monitored out of something like 127 million people who have TVs in their home. Also, when you dig into how Nielsen accounts for viewership and then viewership outside of the home (February in Cincinnati and LA are two very different things), these ratings are basically massive guesses.

As a whole, sure. But there are a ton of fans in that area, nonetheless. They watched their team move to St. Louis and win a SB there. At least they were able to win now in their original city. Quote

They moved to St. Louis so long ago I’m not sure how many folks hung on that long. Edited February 15, 2022 by YoloinOhio Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 LA market still probably had more people watching then the top 5 combined. 2 1 Quote

We were a Nielsen family twice. The first time we had to report our viewing online. The second time (after a few years), we had to wear this beeper-looking thing on our persons and that would tell Nielsen what we were watching. Quote
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Game started while it was still light on the West Coast. Too many people still out at the Boardwalk at Venice, ogling the sights. 😁 3 minutes ago, Doc said: The second time (after a few years), we had to wear this beeper-looking thing on our persons and that would tell Nielsen what we were watching. Were the cheques signed by Bill Belichick? Quote

eSJayDee Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Makes sense. LA is loaded w/ AVID Chargers fans & were upset they didn't make it so they boycotted the game. 5 Quote

Makes sense if the OC in your name refers to Orange County... OC doesn't identify with the LA teams- more the Jets fans of the sporting world. Quote
