Here’s a stat that will blow you away.
The Los Angeles Rams, who eked out a 29-27 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, had fewer fans at their home stadium in L.A. than Packers fans. (RELATED: Here’s Why This NFL Star Claims The League Is Getting ‘Soft’)

That’s right. The 8-0 Rams. Had less fans. At home. Than the 3-3-1 Green Bay Packers.
According to a number of fans and reporters inside the Coliseum on Sunday afternoon, the Rams were booed as they took the field by angry and committed Packers fans. Thousands of them.
Yeah this already feels like a road “home game.” The crowd at the Coliseum booed the Rams and erupted in “Go Pack Go” when Aaron Rodgers ran out. He has a some kind of light knee brace on that left knee. #packers #rams #GBvsLAR

And when you see the photos from inside the Coliseum, it almost looks like a warmer, sunnier Lambeau Field:

Given atrophying interest in the L.A. Chargers following their move to the city, the utter disrespect Red Sox fans showed the Dodgers during Game 5 on Sunday night, and now this, I think it’s probably pretty safe to say that Los Angeles might be one of the worst sports cities in America. Sorry, LeBron.
