I'm just so confused how STL can be so loyal to the Cards and not give two lucks about the Rams. Y'all won a Super Bowl in the past 20 years, you can't ask for much more than that. I would hate to see what would happen to the Cards if they were terrible for 5-10 years.

Being a Royals fan, I don't care how bad they are, I would fight tooth and nail for them to stay in KC.

Different cultures I guess.

It's about the history. The Cards go back over a century. They've provided countless division and league titles and a good chunk of World Series titles.

The Rams have only been here a short time in comparison and have just never felt like ours. It would be like adopting a child but they were 27 years old.

And the Cards have had their lean years. Look at the 70's and most of the 90's. Love them or hate them but the new ownership and Tony Larussa really changed the culture and climate int he clubhouse from the late 90's on.

It's really very simple, you're comparing 100 years of tradition of being one of the best of all pro franchises with many championships to that of a team that's been in town a couple of decades(gee has it been THAT long, really?)and made one big splash, yes they did win a Sbowl.

It isn't culture at all really, it's the magic of history.

Say the Chiefs moved to Albuquerque and the Bronco to KC, even if they won big in the first couple of years, how big a KC Broncos fan would you really be? Hope that helps.

Totally different animal. If the Cards tried to leave, even if they sucked like the Royals did for 25 years, it would be an abomination.

The Blues would cause a stir as well.

The Rams are just meh at this point. I'm not even sure if LA is totally stoked about getting such a vanilla franchise. There's gonna have to be an image overhaul if they do come here.
