Ongoing St. Louis vs the NFL Litigation Thread
So, as a TLDR warning, basically all these tweets are from today regarding rulings in St. Louis' lawsuit vs the NFL regarding the Rams relocation
Basically, the judge ruled heavily in the city's favor to continue moving forward in the legal process and it looks like this case will go to a jury trial at some point, meaning a bunch of dirty laundry concerning the league is about to be aired. Tid-bit regarding the Chiefs is that it looks like Clark Hunt's financial information, as well as some other owners aside from Kroenke, will be shared with the city.

The issue is they flat out lied to the city/taxpayers/fans saying they had no intentions of leaving (I believe as recently as 2013 or 2014 publicly) and had the entire relocation circus go forward with the city, causing millions of taxpayer dollars to be spent on an effort that the NFL never would consider even though the NFL publicly said they’d adhere to their own guidelines, which they didn’t. Also, the whole St. Louis isn’t a football town argument is getting old and not accurate. Give the city a decent product to watch and the fans will come and support. St. Louis has only had 8 combined PO appearances with the Rams and Cardinals in 49 seasons. Last edited by Rams Fan; 07-13-2021 at 02:11 PM.. |

St. Louis’ struggles aren’t good for Missouri as a whole. If KC and STL do well separately on all things, not just sports, everyone wins. Vice versus with KC. |

I just checked the NFL website and St Louis is indeed not a football town.

They tried to persuade local voters in KC to vote against funding to build the Sprint Center. And state representatives from the St. Loser-area have a history of not supporting funding for stadium projects/enhancements in KC, while pushing for the state to bankroll these same types of projects in St. Loser. Where was your appeal for state unity during these situations? |

Like I said, send the Chargers to St. Louis. Kroenke gets his lease broken as a mea culpula and everyone is happy.

If the family decides to sell, moving the team from Los Angeles to a city like St. Louis would be monumentally stupid. Why do you think that Kroenke began working to move the franchise back to Los Angeles in 2007? |

Yeah you'd probably have better luck pulling the Jaguars somehow.

My dream is Jeff Besos buys the team and builds a stadium down in San Diego and takes them back there. I know there are huge problems with that but that's the scenario I like best.
Even when I lived in KC going to San Diego for a Chiefs / Chargers game was awesome. Way more fun than driving 4 hours to St. Louis |
