Episode 3 of 'Hard Knocks' was least watched in the show's history. Who/what is to blame?



Chargers lack of national viewing audience

Neither team has a fan base. The Rams LA base is minor after being in St Louis for so long, and the Chargers never had a fan base there. Both lost the fans they had when they moved the way they did. The Rams got by in LA before because they did have history there, but it’s not like they’re followed like other home teams around the league. Also, neither attract much national attention, and HBO highlighting the difficulties of COVID more than the regular drama I think turned people off. Highlight the failures of LA, and the struggle of Chargers not selling tickets, and the feud between Spanos and Kroenke and maybe you have enough drama to bring people in.
