Before the season has begun the NFL has ALREADY ruined the year for me.
When I first heard their season opener was against none other than the San Francisco 49ERS on the road I was elated and beyond stoked since the 21 year absence of that california rivalry was FINALLY being renewed.I was so excited beyond words. They were always their arch rival having the long storied history together because of that california rivalry that was being renewed FINALLY. Not so fast it turns out.
LA Rams to Play Vs. SF 49ers for 2018 Home Opener in China
Man that is such bullshit.That would be like the yankees and red sox with their long storied rivalry playing each other in the playoffs over in China as well.
The tradition of the LA-SF rivalry is an important one for Los Angeles sports fans. We all know the Rams are playing 3 overseas games the next 3 seasons. They are doing it now so they don't have to do it once they move into Inglewood. The Rams need to make the right choice and not be tone deaf to their fan base.
This, folks, is a travesty. I know we have to play a game in China, it was part of the price of returning to LA. I'm okay with that. But there is no reason to take what is likely going to be our biggest rivalry game and rip it away from SF and LA fans both, to play in a country that may or may not eventually come to be fans of the NFL.
Seattle? Sure.
Oakland? Okay.
San Diego? Why not?
There were many options we could have played against in China, without taking a huge rivalry game away from SF and LA fans alike. We already knew we'd be losing a home game to the China trip, it shouldn't have been against our biggest traditional rivals.
Here is what I say to you NFL.
