I just know Mizzou fans care more about the Chiefs than anything since Mizzou athletics is such Mid Poo.

Dude with all respect and not looking for an argument, but where do you get this information from?

Ok, my friend, I am calling horse shite on this one. St. Louis lost their team because they would not give Kroenke a new stadium with those luxury boxes no one would ever sit in. Toward the end of the Rams tenure in St. Louis, games were blacked out for lack of ticket sales.

Kronke was going to move the team back to LA eventually, but to say KC paved the way for that to happen is not entirely accurate.

You have several things wrong on this, my friend.

1) St. Louis did come up with a new stadium plan but the NFL deemed it "inadequate". The NFL led the organizers of the local effort (Dave Peacock and Bob Blitz) on an elaborate shell game of setting benchmarks and then moving the goal posts while also trying to undermine the effort at every turn. The Rams also lied to all involved which would have all come out in court, but Kroenke and the NFL ponied up $800 million to St. Louis to keep the full truth of their duplicity from coming out.

2) There were no blackouts although they certainly could have been at any time over the last couple of years. Most fans knew the fix was in and a percentage decided Kroenke had swindled enough of their money.

3) Kansas City didn't pave the way for the Rams to leave (city leaders did that), but they voted in favor of the relocation and then hours after the relocation announcement started an ad campaign in St. Louis to attract fans.

Make no mistake, St. Louis slit their own throat when they lured the Rams out of LA to begin with signing the worst lease agreement known to man: that they would keep the stadium in the top 20% of NFL stadiums. An impossible task as the NFL building boom took place shortly thereafter.

All of this adds up to a big FU to from a portion of former Ram fans toward the Chiefs and Kansas City. And St. Louisans who have bandwagoned with them are feckless fools devoid of civic pride. Rant ended.

Me, too. I'm from STL, and most people here hate the Chiefs and their owner who helped pave the way for the Rams and Kroenke to move to LA.

Total B.S.....Kroenke was a money hungry arsehole that tried to hold STL hostage to get what he wanted. STL told him to fck off and he moved the team. Chiefs had ZERO involvement in the move.

STL folks that believe they can't root for the Chiefs are a bit slow. Most embrace the only professional football team in the state.
