They were 8-0-0 and proclaimed the League champion. The 1st perfect season in the pros! 1946-'49 AAFC ~ Los Angeles Dons 1946 NFL ~ Los Angeles Rams came from Cleveland through '94 season. 1960 AFL ~ Los Angeles Chargers 1982 NFL ~ Los Angeles Raiders came from Oakland through '94 season. 1983-'85 - Los Angeles Express ~ USFL 1988 ~ Los Angeles Cobras Arena Football League {AFL} 2000-present ~ Los Angeles Avengers joined Arena Football League {AFL}, which has been in existence since 1987. 2001 XFL ~ Season finale: The Los Angeles Xtreme defeated the San Francisco Demons 38-6 in this game, played at the end of April, 2001. The NFL does not have a franchise in Los Angeles. The best argument given is that the NFL uses this to get what they want in other cities, i.e, bonds floated to build larger stadiums, get preference if a MLB eams needs the stadium, and the like. The NFL can threaten to move the franchise. There's a lucrative market waiting for them. Ten different teams have had professional football franchises in Los Angeles:

AFL XFL - League folded NFL - Chargers left for San Diego. - Raiders left for Oakland. - Rams left for St. Louis. In the NFL case they left because of poor support and poor stadium conditions. Basically they left for better money/better support. The Raiders actually had an attendance requirement in the deal with Oakland which I don't think they met. At least 5.
