95% of LA people about this Sunday: "Is there some kind of game this weekend? Oh that sounds fun, but the girlfriend and I are going to brunch, then a street fair."
They have no perception of anything sports related except USC or the Lakers when they're good.
I've been in a traffic jam during the first Q of the Super Bowl - trying to get to our party. My friend and I wanted to get out and yell at everybody and ask where the hell they were going.
I was at a party Sat night, I had to ask nicely to put the Cowboys/Rams game on w/o sound. If I didn't know the host pretty well I wouldn't have even tried. Luckily there was another football fan there.
This is totally standard at any party for any game except the Super Bowl, including game 7 of the World Series. I had to put on game 7 of the AZ/NYY world series at my friend's party, and the ending was so exciting a few people actually got into the game.
The other 5% are fans of other teams. There are no Rams fans.
