I agree. People under 35 in LA do not remember the 'former' LA Rams. And you have to be 40 or older to remember when they were in LA and actually good back then (late 80s). The Rams had a good core of fans when they came back in 2016 but it was people in their 40s, 50s, 60s, etc. Now they are slowly adding more fans that are young. Things like the KC game on MNF last year and their run overall the past 2+ years are surely sparking interest and loyalty among kids and teens.But those kids are pretending they're Todd Gurley, Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp at recess and in parks and hoping Santa brings them a Rams jersey for Christmas. They're not buying tickets yet. The Rams' and the league's job is to make sure they do when they're 25+ years old.
Those 2 things are joined at the hip, and the league office knows it. Those kids wearing Kupp jerseys must be added to, if the Rams and the NFL are going to be successful long term, and that means the Rams must continue to be a winner.
I do wonder how that influences how the league offices treats the Rams.
