So at the moment the teams will be playing at USC's stadium until the new stadium is built?

Yes.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Now bring back the blue and yellow jerseys!

I hope they bring back Jim Everett as their QB too.

 

[JABEE]

For the OP

 

[Sandfox]

Excited to finally have a team.

Same. LA hasn't had a team since I was 1.

 

[SpecX]

Excited to finally have a team.

Yes high five! I held off siding with any team till LA got one and now I'm a Rams fan.

 

[SliceSabre]

Make the Browns next, we're tired of them up here.

 

[foxuzamaki]

FUCK THIS

 

[dukeoflegs]

Now bring back the blue and yellow jerseys!

I'd rather see them with the Blue and white uniforms they had in 60s-70s

 

[kms_md]

Are there no St Louis football fans? Did they fail to sell out games? Just s baseball/hockey town?

There are plenty of STL football fans. However for the past several years ownership has put out a poor product and has threatened to leave on numerous occasions. It is tough to get fans to show up in that kind of environment.

 

[Elfforkusu]

For the OP.

lmao

That's cold.

 

[Sandfox]

What a joke man. Raiders have a shit ton of recent history in LA and they're the ones that don't move?

The same is true of the Rams.

 

[Kusagari]

Why is Ross the one giving all these quotes?

 

[ColdPizza]

so happy teams can no longer use moving to LA as a threat.

London is next.

 

[GitarooMan]

Jeff Fisher and LA: A perfect fit.

 

[Chase17]

I would think the Charges would join them. Sorry St. Louis, at least the Cardinals are always amazing.

 

[smurfx]

For the OP

FUCK THIS

[DragonSworne]

San Antonio Chargers

San Antonio definitely needs an NFL team.

 

[Team Alucard]

I wonder if Kurt Warner is going to go into the hall as a Cardinal now.

 

[rootbeerafloat]

What a joke man. Raiders have a shit ton of recent history in LA and they're the ones that don't move?

What, seriously? The Rams were in LA for like 50 years, the Raiders 12. They left the same year.

It has nothing to do with the fans. It has to do with greedy owners who want a new stadium but can't get in in the current city.

Not really that shocking considering there is no stadium to play in. Better sticking it out with Qualcomm for another year, there are also lease implications in SanDiego. Also announcing a move to LA puts Spanos in an even weaker position to negotiate a tenancy with Kroenke.

Yeah, good luck playing in the Coliseum for a few years. Place is a joke for an NFL team.

Too bad your Broncos games will always be blacked out as you are forced to watch the shitty product Kroenke refers to as his team plays in your city.

HA, if only this was not already happening. We have been getting blacked out for years because they always show Raiders/Chargers games out here. At least the blackout will happen for a legitimate reason now.

 

[BronsonLee]

London is next.

I'll never understand the NFL's obsession with London

Nothing to do with attendance. Kronke planned the thing from the start (eliminated ticket brokers and such to keep ticket sales low), not a single public appearance in St. Louis since 2012. I mean can you name one owner in any sport who has done the same? We're the only city of the 3 to offer any kind of funding for a stadium yet we're the only team to lose out. personally I'm glad we're not funding the stadium. We've got enough problems in St. Louis as is.

 

[KingBroly]

'San Diego has a year to keep us. I'm giving them a few weeks'

 

[serenewarfare]

Why is Ross the one giving all these quotes?

Because Stephen Ross doesn't give a fuck, which is obvious considering how he runs his team.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I hope Chargers don't move up north. Fuuuckkk.....

 

[demosthenes]

As a Bills sort of fan, my heart goes out to St. Louis fans.

 

[rekameohs]

Man, they've been using relocation as a threat for teams for so long now. What're they supposed to do now...?!?!

 

[Tobor]

I'll never understand the NFL's obsession with London

London has 8 and a half million people and boatloads of money.

It's not hard to understand at all.

[Dominator]

Was born in '93, became a fan when I was 5 or 6 (I live in NJ, just grew attached to the Rams) after they became St. Louis Rams.

Guess I'm gonna need to buy a shitload of new gear.

 

[neurosyphilis]

London is next.

That's not happening anytime soon, if ever.

 

[ColdPizza]

I'll never understand the NFL's obsession with London

They want to grow the league for more revenues. It's all a money grab.

 

[BFIB]

As shitty as the Rams are, I don't really feel the loss here.

But still, get fucked Kroenke.

 

[Elfforkusu]

A St Louis Cardinal. B^)

Wow, I didn't realize he was such a slezebag...I mean, I know he has been doing stuff with real estate out here for years in preparation, but I didn't know he was doing that shit in St Louis. Sorry dude, I would be pissed if we lost the Dodgers, so I cant even imagine the feeling you have right now.

 

[Nightz]

Great, still no closure for us San Diego fans.

 

[Bsigg12]

Well the 2016-2017 season will be interesting. Vikings open their new fancy stadium and the Rams and possibly the Chargers get to play in the LA Colesium.

Benefiting people with lower incomes.

Doesn't mention St. Louis fans.

Great opening statement.

Money money money

And teams fucking hate going up there, it's a dick move

Goddamnit London, go home

 

[Chase17]

They send all the worst games there, making it more confusing.

 

[GoutPatrol]

So at the moment the teams will be playing at USC's stadium until the new stadium is built?

So instead of playing in their 20 year old stadiums, The Rams want spend the next couple years playing in a building that's almost 100? Fuck off.

 

[Draxal]

I'll never understand the NFL's obsession with London

They've tried this forever with the WLAF. They really want the international audience and Germany plays even worse with this (they have the strongest WFL attendance but scheduling will be a complete PITA with them).

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

Why is Ross the one giving all these quotes?

Because he isn't satisfied trolling solely Miami fans.

 

[Parham]

"We were just doing what's best for all of us guys! You understand, right? Cool, now we're going to need you to give us hundreds of millions of dollars."

I'm really interested in seeing how they'll try to convince San Diego to vote in favor of helping pay for a new stadium.

 

[Fitts]

Great, still no closure for us San Diego fans.

Nor us Raiders fans. The only definite coming out of tonight is that the LA Rams are back.

 

[Faddy]

They send all the worst games there, making it more confusing.

LA Rams are in London next season vs the Giants. Should be good.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Just saying the Raiders have a lot more prevalence in terms of LA culture recently.

 

[Tobor]

Goddamnit London, go home

I can't hear you over the roar of all that London money.
