    Alas, the Rams left us high and dry here in St. Louis. I guess you need
    to use the 'LA' abbreviation now. :(
    Too many teams want taxpayer subsidies which leads to teams packing up and going away.

    Teams with losing records shaking municipalities down by threatening to move reminds me of CEOs of companies demanding raises in the millions while
    the company loses billions and lays off thousands.

    It reminds me that it's no longer about the game.

    One big reason I take less interest in mainstream spectator sports these days, the money has taken over. :( I prefer to compete than watch these days. :)
