We love our teams and we love our communities. Professional sports teams represent a city and the competitive nature of sportsmen/ladies hold the local team dear. It's like we are all Rams fans but the city affiliations adds to the emotional bond. Our fan base knows this better than many/most. So when an owner turns and leaves it rips part of that bond away, it can feel like an indictment of the hometown the jilted fan loves. It also makes attending the games very difficult when they are no longer in jilted fans close proximity, so that is frustrating as the community common bond dies off. I just want to add that it is my guess that the 'like level' drops for any and every owner that moves away. We didn't like GF before she moved because she was systematically destroying the team she dubiously acquired from her late husband. But the dislike ran up exponentially when she left LA. We all get it.Two things either happen when a team moves1) indifference (Atlanta Thrashers NHL > Winnipeg, San Diego Clippers > LA, Kansas City Kings > Sacramento)2) anger (LA Rams > St. Louis, Colts > Indianapolis, Browns 1.0 > Baltimore, St. Louis Rams > LA) by Hacksaw 8 years 6 months ago Total posts: 24523 Joined: Apr 15 2015 AT THE BEACH Moderator butthurt bernie POST #32 St. Loser Fan wrote:Two things either happen when a team moves1) indifference (Atlanta Thrashers NHL > Winnipeg, San Diego Clippers > LA, Kansas City Kings > Sacramento)2) anger (LA Rams > St. Louis, Colts > Indianapolis, Browns 1.0 > Baltimore, St. Louis Rams > LA)Using your list, it's interesting that the anger is derived from football teams moving not the other sports.

You are the hired help, nothing more. Gee, good job by the Rams’ owner. The perfect way to build a football family, foster a brotherhood, and create a personal connection between the businessman who owns the franchise and the men who put their bodies and brains on the line to win games for the team, the team owner, the fans, and each other.So much for harmony, camaraderie, and the intangibles that can inspire and motivate football players. Kroenke doesn’t care about that. His life mission: make as much money as humanly possible, and do whatever it takes to keep moving up in the annual Forbes rankings of the wealthiest people in the world. If it means evicting folks out of their homes just because you wanted to add the nation’s largest ranch to your collection and increase your financial worth and personal self-esteem, and settle some old scores from your childhood — then by all means kick ’em out. And if one of the people commits suicide … well, don’t expect a sympathy note from Enos Stanley Kroenke.I knew Kroenke in the 1990s, and into the 2000s, and found him likable. I used to offer this compliment when asked to give an opinion on the kind of guy I thought Kroenke was: “He’s worth billions of dollars,” I would say, each time. “But you would never know it. You would have no idea, because he doesn’t flaunt his wealth. He’s easy-going, low-key, and has a modest way about him.”And I meant every word of it.That Stan Kroenke was a good guy. But somewhere along the line, things changed … drastically. And this isn’t just me talking. Former associates noticed the dramatic alteration in Kroenke’s style, personality, and business approach. He turned into a relatively humble billionaire to an insatiable, money-hungry, greedy, ruthless brute. Consumed by the desire to amass the largest fortune in the world.Longtime relationships soured and dissolved in a sequence of Kroenke power grabs, conflicts, lawsuits and bullying. He would seemingly destroy anyone to get what his way. And even after Kroenke got what he wanted — like a rigged and corrupt NFL relocation process that gave him permission to abandon St. Louis and move the Rams to Los Angeles — it wasn’t enough. It is never enough.With assistance from his despicable St. Louis-based attorney, Kroenke deemed it necessary to metaphorically nuke and napalm St. Louis by dropping bombs in a dishonest and intentionally vicious attack on our town as part of the NFL relocation application. And even now, Kroenke and his weasel attorney have no shame in seeking tax breaks locally (St. Louis and the state) to help fund their latest profit-generating real-estate venture.I don’t know when it changed … but I think I know at least a little about why it changed.The psychological scarring from Kroenke’s poor childhood is deeply embedded in him. One day on the phone Kroenke told me a story about growing up in a small Missouri town (Mora) and being teased and tormented by bullies at school. The other kids would make fun of his worn clothing and shoes.It was a touching story; being bullied is painful and reprehensible. And no one, especially a kid, should have to endure such humiliation. Kroenke, however, didn’t let the abuse bring him down. He used it to motivate him to rise up and overcome challenges and build a successful life.Rams owner Stan KroenkeThat’s the American dream. It’s admirable. Kroenke’s fist job was sweeping the floors at his father’s modest business. Look at him now. But Kroenke’s ravenous desire to prove his worthiness apparently went into some sort of horrible overdrive, and pushed him over the edge.If you are blessed with his presence, don’t talk to him. Don’t even look at him.You are beneath him.He is superior to you.In his current station in life the increasingly bizarre Kroenke has become that which he used to hate, back in his days of growing up in Mora, Mo. The days of patched clothes, holes in his shoes, and bullies that ganged up on him.The poor kid, Kroenke, one day would have the muscle to show the bullies . He would show them.

The perfect way to build a football family, foster a brotherhood, and create a personal connection between the businessman who owns the franchise and the men who put their bodies and brains on the line to win games for the team, the team owner, the fans, and each other.So much for harmony, camaraderie, and the intangibles that can inspire and motivate football players. Kroenke doesn’t care about that. His life mission: make as much money as humanly possible, and do whatever it takes to keep moving up in the annual Forbes rankings of the wealthiest people in the world. If it means evicting folks out of their homes just because you wanted to add the nation’s largest ranch to your collection and increase your financial worth and personal self-esteem, and settle some old scores from your childhood — then by all means kick ’em out. And if one of the people commits suicide … well, don’t expect a sympathy note from Enos Stanley Kroenke.I knew Kroenke in the 1990s, and into the 2000s, and found him likable. I used to offer this compliment when asked to give an opinion on the kind of guy I thought Kroenke was: “He’s worth billions of dollars,” I would say, each time. “But you would never know it. You would have no idea, because he doesn’t flaunt his wealth. He’s easy-going, low-key, and has a modest way about him.”And I meant every word of it.That Stan Kroenke was a good guy. But somewhere along the line, things changed … drastically. And this isn’t just me talking. Former associates noticed the dramatic alteration in Kroenke’s style, personality, and business approach. He turned into a relatively humble billionaire to an insatiable, money-hungry, greedy, ruthless brute. Consumed by the desire to amass the largest fortune in the world.Longtime relationships soured and dissolved in a sequence of Kroenke power grabs, conflicts, lawsuits and bullying. He would seemingly destroy anyone to get what his way. And even after Kroenke got what he wanted — like a rigged and corrupt NFL relocation process that gave him permission to abandon St. Louis and move the Rams to Los Angeles — it wasn’t enough. It is never enough.With assistance from his despicable St. Louis-based attorney, Kroenke deemed it necessary to metaphorically nuke and napalm St. Louis by dropping bombs in a dishonest and intentionally vicious attack on our town as part of the NFL relocation application. And even now, Kroenke and his weasel attorney have no shame in seeking tax breaks locally (St. Louis and the state) to help fund their latest profit-generating real-estate venture.I don’t know when it changed … but I think I know at least a little about why it changed.The psychological scarring from Kroenke’s poor childhood is deeply embedded in him. One day on the phone Kroenke told me a story about growing up in a small Missouri town (Mora) and being teased and tormented by bullies at school. The other kids would make fun of his worn clothing and shoes.It was a touching story; being bullied is painful and reprehensible. And no one, especially a kid, should have to endure such humiliation. Kroenke, however, didn’t let the abuse bring him down. He used it to motivate him to rise up and overcome challenges and build a successful life.Rams owner Stan KroenkeThat’s the American dream. It’s admirable. Kroenke’s fist job was sweeping the floors at his father’s modest business. Look at him now. But Kroenke’s ravenous desire to prove his worthiness apparently went into some sort of horrible overdrive, and pushed him over the edge.If you are blessed with his presence, don’t talk to him. Don’t even look at him.You are beneath him.He is superior to you.In his current station in life the increasingly bizarre Kroenke has become that which he used to hate, back in his days of growing up in Mora, Mo. The days of patched clothes, holes in his shoes, and bullies that ganged up on him.The poor kid, Kroenke, one day would have the muscle to show the bullies . He would show them.
