I don't at all doubt the NFL wants a team in LA, and they may think the Rams are the best fit. What I wonder about is how well LA will support an NFL team. The fact that they've been unable to keep a team despite being such a large market makes me think that football just isn't that popular in the area.
Long read again but please read it all to understand LA is a football town actually.you will see the proof if you read it all actually.
well I know how gullible you are to what the mainstream media tells you so I can see that you have been taken in by the lies the media spread 20 years ago that LA is not a football town.on the contrary,there couldnt be anything further from the truth.
I tried spelling this out dummies style to the saint louis apologists earlier who came on here in the beginning but it just went through one ear and out the other and it was ignored.
thats not one bit true at all that LA is not a football town.I have many games of the LA RAMS games out there from the past so i know first hand thats bullshit the lie the media has spread over the years that LA is not a football town. In all these games i have on tape of them playing in LA,those games were packed and sold out.
there have been three teams in the NFL that have played in LA.The Raiders,Chargers,and the Rams of course.The Rams are the only team that LA embraced and supported.
The chargers played there for one year their very first year in existance.They moved to san diego though because they found out they could not compete with the Rams in attendance averaging only 20,000 fans a game.
The Raiders played there for 11 years and they drew well when they were winning but when they were losing,it was a completely different story.The LA coliseum they played in was half empty there when they started losing and missed the playoffs year after year after the year they won the superbowl out there and then went downhill after that and never could recapture their magic the rest of the time they were in LA.
Al Davis realised that was a big mistake he made moving them out there to LA because of that and then when improvements were made to the oakland alameda county coliseum were made in oakland,he then wisely moved them back.
They always sold out in oakland and fan support was never a problem there. The Rams,Raiders,and chargers are the three teams they keep mentioning in being possible teams to move back to LA next year and they are the perfect ones to mention because they all three have stadium issues and were all in LA once.
a fact they always leave out and never mention though is it will be impossible for the raiders to move back there though and thats because neither the the politicians in LA or the NFL owners want them there thank god..you have to have the approval of the majority of the owners to relocate in their rules they have and the majority dont wont them there and plus the LA coliseum and the rose bowl,neither of them want the raiders there either so they would have nowhere to go in LA to play while waiting for the new stadium to be built out there.
I am sure Mark Davis remembers the times when they did not support the raiders out there when they were doing bad so he isnt about to move them back there especially since the fans in oakland have sold out all their games this year despite having the worst record in football. they wont be loyal to him in LA like they are in oakland and he knows that.
He has nowhere else to go so he has to stay in oakland. the LA fans would NEVER sell out games in a season like this like oakland is and they sure as hell would never stay through a downpour rain like the one they had on thursday night against the chiefs.
It was only the gangsters and headbangers that embraced the raiders when they played in LA.
However the RAMS have ALWAYS had a loyal fanbase in LA.They never would have survived for 49 years in existance had they had terrible fan support out there.moving out of the LA coliseum into anaheim stadium was the dumbest mistake by the then owner carrol rosenbloom because it opened up the venue for al davis to move the raiders there.they both moved out of the LA coliseum because they could not get stadium improvements to their stadium.david then did the same thing and moved back to oakland.
rosenbloom was dumb to move the team to anaheim though because it was only a 53,000 seat stadium where the LA coliseum was a 100,000 seat stadium. the rams when they were in LA,they averaged 70 to 80,000 fans a game.
the majority of their time there they were always in the top 5 in NFL attendance. they even set an NFL record in the 1950's with an attendance of over a 100,000. for a 49ers/rams game and set another one the next year as well.
the way the myth got started that LA is not a football town is that georgia frontier started it.she was the wife of carrol rosenbloom.If rosenbloom was still alive today the rams would never have left LA.
the evil ***** woman had him murdered off though and took control of the team and moved it to saint louis her hometown where she was a showgirl.
his death was very mysterious and its easy to connet the dots that she had him murdered off because she had been married like 5 times previously to other rich men and they all died under very mysterious circumstances as well.she was known as the black widow.
the way the false rumor got started that LA is not a football town is she deliberatly sabotogoed the team gutting it by trading away all the good players they had such as eric dickerson,pro bowlers kevin greene,toby harrah and others.
after she did that,she got what she wanted,the fans got so pissed at her for sabotaging the team they stopped showing up for games the last 3 years there so she could justify her move to saint louis.
that was how the myth got spread that games in LA were always blacked out because of lack of fan support not selling out cause of what happend the last couple years there when the ***** cleverly sabotoged the team so she could justify the move to saint louis.
she was a rich and powerful woman and she had the media and law enforcement to cover up for her.
here read this article here about her and watch this video of al michaels who broadcast rams games in LA many times.he talks about the myth that LA is not a football town and dispells it.
the raiders wont be moving there because the NFL has said it has got to be the right team and the right fit.well the raiders obviously are not the right fit and the right team and mark davis has said he wants to stay in oakland and remember,the owners dont want th raiders there cause they are sore at the davis family for him suing the NFL to move there
chargers owner dean spanos has already said to take him off the list as well that he wants to stay in san diego. however stan kronke the owner of the rams has not said one word about wanting to stay in saint louis and word is he WANTS to move to LA.
and the thing is I dont know exactly what they are,but the NFL has a critera that teams have got to meet to be able to relocate and I know that neither the raiders or the chargers fit the critera however the rams DO.
here is the link of the evil evil ***** owner who murdered her husband and the video of al michaels dispelling the myth that LA did not support the Rams,they did not support the raiders there bu they always did with the Rams.
she was so evil and wicked,she fired her stepson from the rams organization whom her dead husband she murdered off,had set it up so that he would take control over the team in his will after he died.
She began life as Violet Francis Irwin and career as a chorus girl. Georgia Frontiere hit the jackpot when she married her sixth husband Carroll Rosenbloom, who also happened to own the Los Angeles Rams. When Rosenbloom died in a mysterious drowning accident in 1979, Georgia became the owner of the Rams, and promptly fired Rosenbloom's son as the team president before marrying husband No. 7, Dominic Frontiere.
Thus began the hate-hate relationship between Southern California and Frontiere. She moved the team from the L.A. Coliseum to Anaheim (a move Rosenbloom had contractually consummated before his death) and thus severed the long-running love affair between the team - L.A.'s first professional franchise - and much of the team's San Fernando Valley-based fans, not to mention Hollywood. The team thrived briefly in the 1980s, but her stingy ways when it came to team payroll, which led to an ugly and public divorce with superstar running back Eric Dickerson, drove the Rams into a steady decline.
By the end of the 1980s, the Rams were a franchise in a death spiral. Attendance at Anaheim Stadium plummeted. Fans had abandoned the team to cheer for the Raiders, who swooped into the vacuum in L.A. and won the city's first (and so far, only) Super Bowl in 1983. Borrowing a script very much from the movie "Major League," Frontiere gutted the rosters and was able to secure a sweetheart deal from St. Louis to move the franchise after the 1994 season.
Frontiere left behind the nation's second-largest market
