Look, I haven't lived in St. Louis in 14 years since I graduated high school so maybe I don't fit in the same category as those of you who watched the Rams leave. With that said, get over it. I watched St. Louis in its early days as a kid when Tony Banks was absolutely awful, Kurt Warner and the GSOT arrived and became the hometown team. Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, and Torry Holt were phenomenal. Martz melted down after with Bulger and then the travesty of the Fisher years would soon follow. After all those years of some of the worst teams in history, the Rams just played in one of the best games I've ever seen and have a realistic chance to win 13+ games and make a Super Bowl run. Why let Kroenke ruin this experience for you? I know most of you secretly still watch the games, whether it is to root against the Rams or secretly cheer for them. The broadcast numbers don't lie, people in St. Louis watch in great numbers when they're on TV. The league screwed you, I get it, Kroenke is a piece of shit, I get it, but the Franchise is much larger than one guy. He won't be the owner forever, he'll eventually sell or die off and then what, you will warm back up to the Rams or you'll watch a team that mimics the Blues of the NFL in the Chiefs?

I'm sure there will be some posts about how people (mostly hopeless Chief fans) from St. Louis who still root for the Rams are "cucks" or "sackless" because the Rams left. Fandom isn't so simple, you don't just turn off your interest in a team, you can be mad, and I bet most St. Louis fans still are, but if you're mad at Kroenke, you should be mad at the entire NFL, you should have an issue with the entire league and its entire agenda. Hating the Rams but still watching the NFL is not accomplishing anything.
