I'm not 100% sure this is true. The Rams, who had already moved to Anaheim because the L.A. Coliseum was a dump, moved to St. Louis because Georgia Frontiere, who definitely had nothing at all to do with her husband drowning, wanted to move the team to her hometown and sabotaged the team in order to facilitate the move. Bitter Raiders fans have come up with this narrative that L.A. was a Raiders town and had rejected the Rams, and while that may have been true to some extent of the city itself (such as it is), Raiders attendance always sucked. Los Angeles supported the Rams well enough for years.

Trying to split Los Angeles between the Rams, the Chargers, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the teams everyone likes from back home is going to be absolutely disastrous. The NFL got greedy and fucked this whole thing up. The Rams should have had Los Angeles to themselves because of how touchy the L.A. market still is after two decades with no NFL and all the other mitigating factors. Not only do locals not seem to want the Chargers very much, a lot of people are pissed that the Chargers have been thrust upon them the way they were. I can't remember another instance where a city's sports fans have more or less told a team to go back where it came from.
