We weren't given the opportunity to decide whether to continue as Rams fans. . . that option was ripped away from us.

First and foremost, by the relocation application that laid waste to our city with fake numbers and false narratives as part of Stan's revenge for daring to defy him. I don't see how those things could have been written (by Demoff) without saying we're not wanted. The message was loud and clear.

The other problem is that it didn't end there, as Stan (through Demoff) continued laying down napalm, even going as far as saying we're all racists as Demoff implied during an interview on a black radio station.

And now even the players have been invited in on the fun. . . .

It's just the way it is, and we've accepted it. Most of us without the Rams.

And at a personal level, I remain and will always be true to those of you I call brothers I've had the honor of meeting during this experience. And thank you for understanding.

Agree with what RAMbeau penned, the way the Rams leadership/owner chose to leave was not in any way designed to retain any fans from St. Louis.

There are many on the forum that have always been Rams fans, it's not the same for me, and I would think many St. Louis football fans feel that way. Most were, for better or worse St. Louis Football Cardinal fans. I had no animosity toward the Cardinals when they left, the city wasn't going to build them a stadium, it was no secret why they left. They left for the money, for the Bidwill's the football team was their only income and at that time Bill wanted to do the right thing for his family and heirs. The major difference in the two leaving is the way they did it, I hated it, but didn't think badly of the team or it's owner.

The Rams were just another NFL team until they moved here, I wasn't a fan before they moved here, and no longer a fan now that they've left. Kroenke and company needlessly crapped on the City and the fans that supported his poor product for most of their tenure here. Without him the Rams wouldn't have moved to St. Louis, and even though the team was one of the worst in the NFL, the city of St. Louis bent over backwards trying to keep them here. LA did nothing when they had the chance to keep them from moving in the first place, and really did nothing to get them to move back. Plenty of bitter taste left in this fans mouth from the whole sorry situation.

Don't post too much anymore, I'm not interested in seeing the Rams succeed in their new home, and if I can't post something good then don't post at all.

I still come around the forum because I like to see what the people I considered friends are saying. The Rams are back in LA and many fans in So Cal are overjoyed at the thought of having a team again. I won't rain on that parade, much like RAMbeau I've accepted it, the best thing is, now I won't be living and dieing with a football team every Sunday. I can watch, and enjoy football games and it really won't affect me one way or the other who wins.
