That's like there used to be a ton of Cowboys fans in LA because they had training camp out there.
Ok, I forgot how funny the Dallas Cowboys stories are out here in L.A. and should have posted this much sooner. But, there are a ton of Cowboy fans in this area. A lot more than you would think... I was a little kid in Thousand Oaks when they held camp at Cal Luthern University with Too Tall, Dorsett, Jones, and Danny White. All of my friends are Cowboy fans. Thousand Oaks is known for being the #2 safest city in the U.S. in terms of violent crimes.
Now, the Cowboys moved up the coast to the more tough and rough Oxnard, affectionately known in these parts as "The 'Nard". No doubt this was done to toughen the image of the Cowboys in the league, plus the larger number of strips clubs in the more diverse "'Nard" area.
Most importantly, "The 'Nard" is home to the "Colonia Chiques", a violent street gang in SoCal.
A little back story... an injunction was put in place by a judge in the area to attempt to decrease the Colonia Chique uprising in the area. The resolution is fantasticly entertaining... see below.

And I quote... "Under the injunction terms, alleged Colonia Chiques gang members who are served cannot associate with other members,
wear Dallas Cowboys attire, stay out past 10 p.m. or engage in other gang-related activities in the safety zone. "
