Zealous Donkey 0 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Wondering whats with Stan Kroenke deciding to exercise his option to match any offer to buy the St. Louis Rams. This puts him at odds with the cross ownership rules the NFL has in place. Also wondering if there is a quid pro quo with Commissioner Goodell to lift the cross ownership rules if Kroenke agrees to move the team to LA when they finish their new stadium.He waited the full 60 days to announce, very weird, no one seemed to know this was coming.http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/st...CC?OpenDocument Link to post Share on other sites

They get good support in STL so if they try it will get ugly. Link to post Share on other sites

Having an NFL team is a big deal. Link to post Share on other sites
GOCUBSGO 77 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Yeah I don't see this happening in the near future. Link to post Share on other sites

Having an NFL team is a big deal.Live in STL when not at school and grew up there. Cardinals are 10x more popular than the Blues who are 10x more popular than the Rams. I can def see the Rams being moved without enough uproar to keep them. Not many tickets were sold, and with another year of 4 or fewer wins, I don't think people will throw fits over moving them back. Link to post Share on other sites
