Let's not forget that they were actually the Cleveland Rams, until 1946.
And, that in the AFL days, the Chargers were originally the LA Chargers.
But, you are right in asking why LA deserves a team, let alone 2. Simple marketing statistics show that there are just too many other things to do in LA, than to spend NFL stadium money on teams in a city that won't fill the stadium year in, year out.
To me, it seems more of a "prestige" issue that LA be home to an NFL franchise, with them being the entertainment capital..
