So are Lakers fans Angels fans or Dodgers fans?
And are Clippers fan Angels fans or Dodgers fans?

And vice versa for the baseball teams...


I've always been curious if there is a formula for what the consensus is on who roots for what team in the city of Los Angeles. I assume it matters where you live, so give info on how that works. TIA.


Edit: This is the best image I could find since I, for one, wasn't even sure where Orange County was in contrast to the main part of LA geographically. From the notes I've heard... The Dodgers fans reside in the main parts of LA vs the Angels fans living more south in Orange County.





Edit 2: Still not sure geographically where Lakers fans are vs Clippers fans



Edit 3: This map shows that LA has no Clippers fans...

I have lived in Southern California for 20 years. The Clippers fan base was literally non existent until the last several years. Blake Griffin was a good pick for them. Still outnumbered by Lakers fans probably 20:1. Baseball is simpler. Basically the Dodgers are LA's team and the Angels are Orange County's team.

Die hards are usually Dodgers and Lakers fans. Especially the Cholos and Cholas

I could look it up, but to keep the conversation going, could you geographically tell me where the fans resides in regards to the 2 diff sports if you are familiar since you live over there. TIA

I'll clear up NY for you

Giants, Yankees, Knicks, Rangers

Jets, Mets, Islanders, not sure if Nets are weaseling in there now but that would be cool for the rhyming.

For LA I don't see how Lakers/Dodgers aren't together but i don't know if it works out like NY does.

I thought I did. The Dodgers fans live in Los Angeles and the Angels fans live in Orange County.

Pecking order for Southern California

1. Lakers
2. Dodgers
3. USC football
4. Angels
5. UCLA basketball
6. Rams *** rising fast ***
7. Clippers
8. Kings
9. Ducks
10. Chargers

This is pretty spot on. As you implied- if the rams become legit- that stock will rise
