Rams battle for Los Angeles just got bigger thanks to Dez Bryant

With recent comments made by Dez Bryant, it looks like the Los Angeles Rams have an unexpected battle in their city.

Believe it or not, the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers have an unexpected battle on their hands when it comes to a third contender for the city. According to comments by Dez Bryant, the Dallas Cowboys are the team of Los Angeles, since the team has hosted training camp in Oxnard for the past couple of years, and don’t seem to be moving anytime soon.

When a reporter mentioned them being the only team in Southern California at the moment, as the others weren’t in camp at the moment, Bryant simply responded, “There will be teams here, but we are the only team here.”

At first glance, Dallas fighting for the Los Angeles area seems preposterous, but there is merit to it.

While there has been a football drought in Los Angeles for over 20 years when the Rams moved out, some fans moved on. As “America’s Team,” the Cowboys have a significant fan base nationwide. More specifically, they have a significant fan base in the Los Angeles area. And while they have had training camp in Southern California for the past couple of years, they have attracted many fans to their cause.

This could be a problem for both the Rams and the Chargers as both play the Cowboys this season. Los Angeles is a city of winners, and if neither the Rams or Chargers win this season, the Cowboys can swoop in and steal it from under us once again.
