St. Louis has never been a good football city, which goes back to the Cardinals.

I'd imagine they felt like shit, too. They have/had every right to hate Frontiere and the NFL.
Also, your claim of St. Louis not being a good football city is bullshit.
The city just ****ing offered to pay up to build a second stadium with public money in less than 25 years and supported a team that had only 4 winning seasons and 5 playoff appearances in 21 seasons. Hell, I think the football Cardinals were more beloved in St. Louis than the Rams were.
Bidwell left because the city wouldn't play ball with him. He wanted to stay in St. Louis.
If you're going to claim St. Louis isn't a football city, can I claim the same regarding LA which lost 2 football teams as well(3 if you want to include the Chargers)?
