Have you ever been a Rams fan?

If so, shame on you (unless you're into this kind of thing, see below).

Rams fandom is no different than dating/marrying someone who is still open to others while demanding your devotion.

Rams have been here since I was a kid. I can remember rumors of their departure since I was playing little league.

They've never been committed to this city, never, never ever.

The truth is this:

The LA Rams move to St. Louis was a deal with the devil.

It was a corrupt deal from stage one.

St. Louis was supposed to get an expansion franchise, but the devil and his demons had other plans.

The SuperBowl the Rams won was tainted in blood, murderous blood, no really, the owner was a murdering witch. This was attempted to be covered up by the bible thumping grocery stocking boy, Kurt Warner.

The franchise has never been clean. It's always been corrupted. Yet there has never been outcry or pushback.

The lack of truthful light shed on this franchise for all these years makes it impossible for a true narrative of their departure to be told.

The Rams should have never been here in the first place, yet StL will suffer the embarrassment of another exiting franchise.

If you've been a Rams fan you accepted a deal with the devil, unfortunately all St. Louisans will suffer the consequences of such a deal.

Meh.

This is about Kronke, his wig, his ego and his desire to create stacks of money like scrooge mcduck. Your story sounds all nice and doom and gloom but the reality is that its simply about one man. If Shad Khan had gotten the team none of this would be happening.

So pardon me while I laugh at your hindsight driven admonishment.

What a really bizarre comparison. Maybe it should be "shame on you" for even coming up with something like this.

As an outsider looking in, its never seemed like STL has completely embraced the Rams. Sure, people talk like they love them, and the powers that be in Missouri all say the right things about keeping them there, but it's never seemed like a legitimate marriage between team and city.

I think its been hindered by two things.

1. The last ten years have been god awful.
2. Kroenke is a heartless prick, with an eye only on his ROI, he cares nothing about the city.

The last time I really cared about a Rams season, Mike Martz was the coach, that's how long its been. I've since turned into a Chargers fan, and follow them much more closely than the Rams.

It's because they have not only sucked, but the overall mojo of that franchise is just boring and stale. The games in STL that I do get to see on TV look sad and depressing. All the momentum they had in the early 2000's has been washed away.

If they do move out here, I'll become less of a fan. They will become another annoying LA team with annoying fans, just like the Dodgers and Lakers.

The Rams have always felt forced and disconnected to me, I'd have rather STL got a new franchise and started fresh back in the 90's. Getting a team from another city never seemed completely kosher to me.

Also, from an outsiders perspective I can tell you that no one thinks STL is a football town, nor does anyone believe the city deserves another shot at a team. If the Rams leave, don't bother wasting the funds to build another stadium. The NFL isn't coming back.

I was at both NFC Championship games.

I am starting to wonder if it really happened.
Deal with the devil indeed. The Cardinals should have never left STL.

Nope. I've been a Niners fan since I was a kid (mid 80s).

Nope. Was a Cardinals football fan when I was a little one. After they left became a Chiefs fan, and have been since.

Our local Fox affiliate don't even show RAMS games for the NFC games, they pick the Cowboys or some other team. This just starting happening last season, continued into this season.

CBS affiliate still home of the Chiefs though.
