It's in the next two sentences you cut out. With LA not having a team, each NFL city can blackmail the current city they are in to publicly fund the stadium, or they will move to LA. If LA gets a team, the biggest threat of a move is gone, and then the cities have more leverage to force the owners to pay for their own stadium. Because the cities usually cave, they are rewarded with a Super Bowl, which brings in thousands of people that help the economy.
