Chargers Clearly Winning The Battle For L.A.

Rams owner Kroenke didn’t learn from the Redskins’ mistakes and tried to buy his Rams a SB. He came up short losing to Tampa Bay and the Patriots. Now he he’s reaping the bitter fruits of overpaying players like Goff, Gurley et al. and giving up three first round draft picks via two trades (one for Brandin Cook, two for Jalen Ramsey).

The Spanoses are not as generous throwing money at players as Kroenke, but they’re also not as rich. There is one area the Rams have a clear edge over the Chargers in the “Battle of LA” until proven otherwise, and that’s the number of local fans packing the stadium. Chargers fans are always outnumbered by the other team’s no matter where they play, even when they’re winning like in 2018 when they’re 12-4.

However, the battle of LA between the LA Chargers and LA Rams has already been decided.
The two teams set to move into SoFi Stadium this upcoming season have had polar opposite off-seasons. One is primed for an exciting future, while the other seems to have what could be a nightmare on their hands.The LA Chargers and Rams should have both been going into the 2020 NFL season with incredibly high hopes and an absolutely beautiful stadium awaiting their arrival. However, while they will still be going into SoFi Stadium, it seems as though only one team will be going in with the high hopes that they should.

The Chargers have had what could be seen by many as an almost perfect offseason so far, and it is surely going to get better with the much-anticipated new uniforms coming in just six days and holding the sixth pick in what is a loaded 2020 draft class.

Tom Telesco has always been known for his draft prowess, while Rams general manager Les Snead has done the team no favors in the long-term. Snead has gone out and acquired “premier” talent at the expense of his team’s future, and the team will be going into their fourth of five years without having a first-round pick.

The Chargers and Rams are both looking to go into Inglewood as the talk of the town. While it may take some time to truly build up a strong fan base in the Los Angeles area, the Chargers have shown they have many things going in the right direction while the Rams could be looking at multiple rough seasons on the horizon.
