quote:

In the final section of that document, filed to the NFL on Monday, the Rams indicate that St. Louis has fallen so far behind economically that it can no longer support three professional sports teams. Also, the Rams say the stadium proposal put forth by Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon's task force and the St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority (RSA) does not appeal to them, let alone any NFL team.

"No NFL club would be interested in the RSA's New St. Louis Stadium," the application reads. "Any NFL Club that signs on to this proposal in St. Louis will be well on the road to financial ruin, and the League will be harmed."

He did a lot of fan-bashing, ignoring that that they haven't had a winning season in over a decade.
Great Dickson/Cowen impersonation.

I guess they should have let Rush Limbaugh buy the team. Oh well.

Good.

The Rams belong in LA and should wear their original uni's.

Kroenke just put in writing what he has been doing for the past 5 years.

I'm not defending St. Louis in this, but make no mistake this is not about the City of St. Louis, its all about money.

They are curb stomping Kroenke.

Guy from Forbes proved his so called facts were worthless and wrong.

Stan has no NFL buddies, Spanos told him to GFH, and Owners are beginning to see how much of a clown he's become.

His USA owned pro teams are a joke, and their attendance is bottom or nearing the bottom. He got lucky with Lanche, but those days r over, their fans hate the guy. None of his teams fan bases have a good thing to say about him.

Even Arsenal fans think hes a knobber. He's lied to them relentlessly.

I love watching a billionaire look like a fool for all to see. Now people realize how shitty off an owner he is.


PS. He wanted a new stadium within the past 2 years, yet said the market cannot handle one, lol!!! Guy is full of lies, he makes Redskins owner look like Owner of the year.

I'm no Rams fan, but the fans watched this tard destroy the team so he could buy from Georgias kids, and while it bottoms out, get ready for escape plan to make major profit


Also, 3 years ago, he threw a fit, claiming he has never had any intention to move and there is no plan to move. LOL guy should write his lies down, so they cannot be used later.

the guy from Jags(kahn), who owns a business within 2 hours of st.louis was literally hours from owning the team, before Stan used his right of first refusal.

He took the guy on a tour, showed him the facilities, etc, then waited till last minutes to screw the guy out of buying the Franchise.

The rams will move to LA and then in 5-6 years move somewhere else. It's how it works in LA.

I know Bronco fans are praying for Stan to LA, they dont want him any where near their team. He has shown some interest in buying them when the family finally decides to sell.

If the Lambs move to LaLa land Mizzou stands to benefit.
The STL crowd will need a football fix and not having a pro team makes Eastern MO more SEC.

5 years after they move attendance will be near the bottom in LA. Book mark it.

Kroenke is a massive piece of shite, and I say that as someone who has lived in St. Louis and hated that place. I don't care if the Rams stay or leave St. Louis, but god damn do I hate Kroneke.

I saw that and it just more evidence to my prediction from monday that the Rams will be in LA next year.

Can a owner buy another team, or are you assuming that Kroenke sells if the team stays in STL?
