Los Angeles, You Can Have The Rams
don't go to Rams games, but I do watch them on TV, and I worry that the diminishing fan base will soon get so small that the NFL's blackout rule will kick in -- so that none of their games are on local TV -- and that will be that. In fact, it sounded today like there were at least as many Vikings fans in the dome cheering for their team as there were Rams fans booing ours. This was not a first-time phenomenon. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that St. Louis leads the NFL in tickets sold to fans of the opposing team.
We're not going to spend public dollars to build the Rams a new stadium or fix up their current home in the dome -- and we know that billionaire owner Stan Kroenke won't put his own hard-inherited money to fix up a venue where attendance is going to keep dropping because the product consistently sucks.
So, LA, you can have the Rams back.
You're the nation's second-largest market, and you're supposedly hungry for an NFL franchise that will bring out huge crowds, create corporate synergy opportunities, and draw big TV ratings. Go ahead and build them a new stadium and try to create a new fan base. But when the new LA Rams set records for fumbles lost, interceptions thrown, penalties against, and players with season-ending injuries, don't come crying to us.
We have been there and done that for the last decade.
as I've said dozens of times on this thread.I dont care of they go 0-16 every year the next 5 years.I'll still go and attend at LEAST half their games at home next season and in the future.
Im convinced that stan saw how the bitch from saint louis dismantled that team so badly in LA getting rid of great players like Eric Dickerson and many others to get everybody in LA disgusted with her fiddling,that they stopped showing up to games the last couple years so she could justify the move to saint louis to the owners. stan obviously took a page out of her book.
Thats why their draft choices were so pathetic this past off season passing up on impact players like mack for the pitiful draft picks they got since he wants them to do badly thier last year in saint louis.
Mack has been a wrecking machine for the oakland raiders.I never imagined the rams would pass him up after the texans took clowney but they did for that obvious reason.
NEXT year,they will finally get serious about making good draft choices.the best thing for Rams fans to do in LA is cheer them on to go 0-16 to get that number one pick.the worse they fail,the quicker we get them back to LA next year.
I hope you're listening Bill.
