As a St. Louis native living in northern California, I am saddened for the St. Louis region on hearing the news today. The NFL owners voted to allow the Rams to move to Los Angeles. It's too bad that neither the St. Louis Football Cardinals or the St. Louis Rams could consistently put contenders on the field during their respective time in the gateway city. Despite that, both teams were supported very well until Bidwell and Kroenke started toying with the fans' emotions. The same thing nearly happened last year to the Sacramento Kings fans who had owners that were first trying to move the team, and then tried to sell the team to an ownership group that was going to move the team to Seattle. Sacramento Kings fans and city/county officials fought just as hard as those officials in St. Louis city and county to keep the team from selling/moving. Thankfully, the owners of the NBA voted on the side of the fans. The Kings will be moving into their new arena at the start of next season.
