The same can be said of almost all foreign owners of EPL's clubs along and even some British owners. John Henry is loved by Red Sox fans but hated by the Liverpool supporters.

Every owner profits as the NFL grows internationally. They need to share the burden too...

Very good point. The Rams being in nomad mode right now are going to lead the way for the rest. Their footprint is growing.
With their (perceived) willingness to travel, go ahead,, they do those international runs all they want, but the should start getting the opportunity to have some of those games be counted as road games? Besides travel time and time zones, they wouldn't be at as much of a disadvantage overall.
Even if both teams might be sacrificing a home game,, that affects those 2 teams only. Something must be up now, but why and how long does it have to stay this way where?
Or do I have this wrong?

I really have to think once we're in Inglewood, Stan isn't gonna wanna be giving up home games.

And at that point, he's gonna be owed some road games when the Rams play out of the country...

It seems to be lining up that way.
