And if they weren't so damn much fun to watch play, I'd be right there with everyone that hates them. But I'm also torn. At least they somewhat belong in LA as opposed to that other team that moved there who plays 16 road games a year. Yeah, LA is currently sporting twin scumbag NFL owners. Spanos (the dead one and the living one) are equally culpable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the dad had been more involved and not 115 years old, the team never leaves San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a multitude of promises to the St. Louis fans and broke every single one of them AND left them holding the bag on the Edward Jones Dome which sits empty 95% of the year. The fact that he was already sickeningly rich just makes it worse. It makes it hard for me to feel good about the Rams. Yup Doug, I have several relatives and good friends who live in St. Louis, so ditto. Old Stan may even top Schmodell in being a Carpetbagger. St Louis had the best offer on the table, plus unlike New Yorker Artie- Kroenke is actually from Missouri. I can't root for the Rams (and their owner) under any circumstances.

Arsenal fans have been blaming Kroenke for their lack of spending the last few years but it's a myth really, they spend fortunes on player signings and salaries and always have done. They just want an excuse for under achieving. I should probably point out I despise Arsenal, I might be a bit biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some other Premier league teams that are also owned by people that own US Sports teams; Manchester United, own by Glazer family...owner of Tampa Bay Bucs Liverpool is owned by the Fenway Sports group, which owns the Boston Red Sox (If LeBron owns a piece of Liverpool it is not mentioned.) Fulham, owned by Shahid Khan who owns Jacksonville Jaguars. Also, I found this: Fulham... its principal owner is Joshua Harris who has a big piece of Apollo Global Management, which fairly recently purchased Diamond Resorts International, which is who I have my timeshare through. Of the 20 Premier league team, only 7 seem to have majority ownership by UKers...one by a Welshman. That is the same number of which Americans own a majority interest; three teams have Chinese majority interest; 2 by Russians, 1 each by Malaysians, Thai, Italian, and UAE. So, which one is your team? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenway_Sports_Group Aston Villa, which seems to have been relegated, now principally owned by the Chinese. Billy Beane...he of Moneyball fame, has an interest in a lower level team: Barnsely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if you are aware but the Thai owner died recently in a crash after his helicopter left the stadium following the game! It crashed down into the stadium car park, pretty crazy. My team is Tottenham Hotspur and we have a very fierce fan rivalry with Kroenke's Arsenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 LOL! Those fans obviously don't pay enough attention to the game. I didn't see more than one go down with the fake knee injury.😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
