Out of all the 32 cities, regions, metropolitan areas that have NFL teams, the reason why the people there?
support there NFL teams is because there is not many activities to do, things to do in those places, regions, areas like Southern California is. Where I'm getting at is that I've asked many times before as to why L.A. can't or won't support an NFL team, thats why they lost the Raiders and the Rams, and the Chargers(not sure if they count because they were only there for one year) because they were not getting enough fan support from the fans, so thats why they left, and because of the fact that there is too many things to do in L.A. and Southern California, too many activities to do, thats why there is not much big demand of one, but the L.A. area has 2 NBA teams, 2 MLB teams, 2 NHL teams, and 2 MLS teams, and even an WNBA team, so it is starting to make me wonder, cities, regions, areas, places in which there is not many things to do, not many activities to do are the only regions, cities, areas that are permitted to have NFL franchises, that are capable of supporting teams, places in which there is too many activities to do are just not capable of supporting an NFL franchise, so overally, my question is that, is there more to do in L.A. and Southern California than anywhere else, any other region in the United States? I have lived here my whole life, have never lived in New York, Chicago, or Miami, so it's hard for me to compare L.A. and Southern California to other places, regions, which also offer a lot of things to do, activities to do. I've looked up articles or even other people besides me asking questions as to why L.A. does not have an NFL team? here is what they say: "Lack of Public Demand: The NFL( as a league) is incredibly popular in LA. Go to any sports bar on a Sunday and it will be packed. The problem is that most NFL fans are transplants from other regions of the country( like myself) and have maintained their loyalties to the teams they rooted for before, i.e the Bears, Patriots, Giants. With the advent of satellite/direct TV and all the games on regular TV and cable there is no need to have a team in the LA area to see their favorite teams play" If L.A. and Southern California is full of transplants that retain and keep their loyalties to their home-town Sports teams, people that move to Southern California from another state, then why is it very extremely rare to find somebody who is not a Laker fan in Southern California? somebody who is not an Angels or Dodgers fan? I would expect there to be a lot of Yankees fans in Southern California, or Chicago Cubs fans, etc., or Spurs fans for the NBA, Celtics fans, Bulls fans, etc. In another article they also said: "Los Angeles itself: This is a diverse city with a lot to do; LA does not need the NFL to be a great city. We have the beaches, the mountains, countless great restaurants as well as many great sports teams, college and pros. We do not need the NFL to be a great city. "
