St.Louis Rams: 1995-2015/thanks for having me on btw.

I sympathize with St. Louis for getting screwed over by the NFL twice. But let’s be honest, a small market like St. Louis never had a chance to take a team from a big market like Los Angeles and hold on to it. It was cruel to move the Rams in 95, it deprived LA of its franchise and it got St. Louis’s hopes up. What should’ve happened in 95 is the Rams staying in LA and St. Louis getting an expansion team.

That crappy logo they have now was enough of a downfall for the Rams.

[djtrankilo]

0:55 wrong! They were already the Chicago Cardinals before moving to St. Louis. They only kept the Cardinals name to appeal to the baseball fans.

[slicer]

The city of St. Louis is loyal to their teams. It was the rams and nfl in general that gave up on the city.

[DeadAir]

They left out a lot of important details in why they left. Any one who lived in St Louis during that time knows that both Stan Kroenke and that NFL were plotting to move them back as soon as he became majority owner and the city never has a chance to keep them.

The Cardinals actually came from Chicago and started playing there on 1898. The name came from their uniforms when the owner declared "They're not maroon! They're Cardinal red!". They moved to St Louis in 1960, then to Phoenix in 1988.

[jbaskinger]

A thing people forget is that St. Louis nearly got the New England Patriots back in 1993 and nearly renamed themselves the to the St.Louis Stallions. If it was not for Robert Kraft buying the team, St. Louis might have gotten a dynasty or just another downfall team.

How is this dude not YouTube famous yet, high quality videos

As an LA Rams fan (back from the 1980s), I'd say that it'd be great for St. Louis to get a team, but I'd hate to see a team relocate for it to happen. That being said, you're absolutely right that it doesn't make sense for Jacksonville to have an NFL team, and if they were to relocate St. Louis would make sense. I'd much prefer St. Louis to London. Best of luck St. Louis.

Cardinals are the oldest team in the NFL founded in 1898 in Chicago. Not 1960

[BennyBoy]

I remember moving to St. Louis as a kid in 1997 and as a 7 year old picking the god awful rams as my NFL team and then in 98 we had the mark McGwire home run chase and in 99’ the greatest turn around in sports history.. for one brief shining moment ALL eyes were on St. Louis 😔 I’ll always have those 98-01 years that nothing will ever come close to as a St. Louis sports fan.

[mclovin]

Except that the Arizona Cardinals were the Chicago Cardinals before they moved St. Louis. Kind of made your baseball joke sound dumb.

[nickmiller]

Cardinals were named after the jerseys getting screwed up, not because of the baseball team.

[jordant_]

You can say, “St. Louis gave up on the rams”. If out of 21 years your team makes the playoffs 5 times I wouldn’t be jazzed either about them. Still this is a sports town we’ll do anything for the Cardinals and Blues

I lived across the street from the Dome when the Battlehawks were there, and it was crazy. It most definitely showed that the people of STL would support a NFL team more than ever. I wanted to go to a Battlehawks game for my birthday, but everything was shutdown by then.

[FWJosh]

Kroenke turned the team to shit on purpose so fans wouldn't show up and he could use it as an excuse for leaving.

[chamberlainquench]

I actually attended the last game in St. Louis. It was a pretty good experience honestly. The fans really wanted the rams to stay. I saw signs everywhere from fans for them to stay. It was beautiful watching Todd Gurley run the ball. And there defense was fun to watch especially with Famous Jameis throwing them the ball to them. It’s sad that we never got to see them go back to the super bowl while they were in St. Louis.

Hey man, big fan of the channel! Keep up the great work! I’m 20 and have lived in St Louis my whole life. This video really spoke to me on a personal level. I grew up a Rams superfan. Unfortunately I was too young to remember any of the golden years. All I remember is supporting the Rams through all of those rough seasons. The 1-15, 4-12, 5-11, 7-8-1 seasons. I would go into each Sunday hoping for a win but rarely ever getting one. There was something so beautiful about it though. I absolutely loved supporting the team even though they were utter garbage. It was the hope that ”this Sunday would be different” was what kept me coming back! There were many other people who felt the same as me and loyally stood by the team and would get roasted for doing so. I think that’s why many St. Louisans feel anger about the relocation. The issue was the way it went down.

I vividly remember the day Kroenke bought the land in Cali. Kevin Demoff, chief operation officer of the Rams, came on the radio and said that Stan didn’t think the land was any good for building a stadium. He was telling us not to worry about a thing. Then look what happened. We fully understand that there is so much more money to be made in LA. If they were upfront about it then I think I would still be a diehard Rams fan. The reason we still have animosity for them is because they led us on thinking we actually had a shot at holding on to the team. Then they had the audacity to call us bad fans on the way out. So now you’re slandering us on the way out too? Y’all have been trash for 10 years, of course attendance is gonna be lower then usual. I just can’t support the team after they disrespected us so much. Don’t even get me started on the stadium proposal debacle. I could go on and on about all the shadiness that happened there from the Rams and the NFL. I digress, I won’t make you listen to that rant😂.

I know what I said probably sounds petty to an outsider but I just want people to understand that the anger from St. Louis is legit and is based on lack of transparency from higher ups in the organization and the NFL. I’m sincerely happy for the LA fans that got their team back. I just ask that you understand our feelings on the matter and don’t make blanket statements that we were bad fans. If we ever get another team in STL I hope it’s in expansion team. Ik the pain of losing a team so I’d never wish that on anybody else. Lol this is super long, thanks for reading if you’ve made it this far. 🙏🏾😂

P.S. - RETIRE STEVEN JACKSON’S NUMBER IMMEDIATELY

The Cardinals started in Chicago and the name was because of the uniforms
