or

[ffadicted]

I dont think theres any question about it being the Lakers city

[Greg Oden]

I keep forgetting who the LA Raiders and LA Rams play tomorrow. Can someone post their schedule?

[iggypop123]

1,2,3 are lakers then dodgers etc. lakers rule the town. its a kobe town

[cobbler]

Pro football? yeah right.

LA is a 1)Laker, 1.5)Dodger, 2)USC football town.

Die hard fans for the Kings as well.. and they are looking good this year.

Its a garbage town.

[Donkeybong]

Galaxy are making some noise :|

who am i kidding. people only care about them now because they are in the MLS Finals. No one will give a about them once Beckham takes off back to AC Milan

Its a garbage town.

And yet we keep winning les and you are 0 for life.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

This is obvious. Lakers and UCLA.

Mojo... I think the Dodger fans are more faithful during the down times. Lakers have more bandwagon fans... but thats to be expected since they rebound to contention quicker. Lakers have the best ownership. While the Lakers were retooling and the Dodgers were building... LA was a USC football town. (Leinert/Bush years)

Now if you are talking in terms of les... It's basketball. Lakers/Bruins by a landslide.

^ I agree with that.

There are still RAMS fans in LA that are arguing with ST Louis RAMS fans over the possibility of a return to LA at some point.
Some of those LA sports fans claim that it's a football town.
I called bull on that.

I am sadly a Rams fan... and I hated Shaw and Front-and-reary for moving the team.

I'm a native... Dodgers, Lakers, Rams, Kings... and I know ill get flamed for this, a UCLA basktball fan and USC football fan. As I was growing up they were both dominant. (Wooden years, OJ years)

Never waivered.... Never will...

Lakers trump everything in Cali.

Up here in the bay area we gives a about the Lakers. Don't pretend you speak for the whole state. The Warriors and Kings still rule around here, loltastic though it may be.

When I have the misfortune of going to LA, I see way more Raiders gear than I do Rams gear. If anything, that town still leans towards the Raiders

No doubt about that. Raiders are bigger here than the Rams. By a long shot.

[IronMexican]

UCLA basketball is well behind the Lakers, Dodgers and SC football. Lakers are far and away #1.

Most definitely

Really?
I'd have probably voted Frisco a baseball town with football a close second.

I heard its clipper nation down there.

That doesn't necessarily make them football fans.

I was just talking basketball-wise.

Niners rule all up here, hands down. Giants second. Then Raiders, Warriors, A's, Kings in that order...IMO
