Rams are leaving St Louis, but taxpayers on the hook for stadium payments until 2022 anyway.

St. Louis fuckin sucks. Can't keep a basketball team, can't keep a football team. They just have faggy baseball and hockey.

NFL SHOULD PAY IT OFF SINCE THEY PAY ZERO TAXES!!!

St. Louis Got Ramed

I think the Rams owner should have to make the payments as well as reimburse other monies spent by the taxpayers in an effort to keep the Rams in St. Louis.

Same as bankrupt Detroit!

No $$ for arts, Food, Etc....
Always $$ for sports!!

Stupid humans

they should protest

There should have been a contingency that the team stay. Taxpayers fucked again...

another reason why people have to stop supporting "pro" sports.

you like football? dust off the doritos from your crotch and go play it instead of sitting on the sofa watching stupid cunts make more in one season than you will in your entire life.

This

Cities, counties and states bend over backwards to lure a team. They will offer the moon if it could be given, just to say, "This is the home of the XXX XXX".

Taxpayer's money is limitless when trying to get that team to play for that city. There is no asking the public, they don't give a damn what we think.

Laws need to be written to protect the taxpayers. We as a public should NOT be forced yo pay one penny to fund any sports and or teams.

If this John Doe wants to pay extra taxes, then he should, but if Jane Smith does NOT approve, then she will not see any new taxes.

In reality, teams and the sports league are the only ones that should pay.

WE do not benefit for having a sports team in town. Only the lucky few that own businesses around the stadium and the individuals that know the right people will make money.

If they want a new stadium, then add an extra 5 bucks to each ticket. If it take 20 years to make enough money, so bit it.

Leave the rest of us alone.

after Ferguson I was hoping they would be the one to loose a team

Now that they are

Thanks to BLM and Mike brown.

I'm from Saint Louis but live in LA now. I'm personally ecstatic the Rams are moving back. The Rams never should have left in the first place.

What do you expect? Sports fans are, you know, morons.

They left St.Louis to go back to Los Angeles...which is a city that already failed to suport a team in the 80s.

Does anyone think the NFL moved them because of the New Madrid fault.

Is St. Louis the next major city to be destroyed???

'faggy' baseball and hockey?

It didn't fucking help, that's for sure.

The remaining money to be paid by the St Louis tax payer will look like chicken feed compared to the bill the tax payers in Los Angeles will be footing to build the new stadium to accommodate this team.

Isn't California broke already? Without a new stadium that will probably cost over $1B?

Bob Kraft was going to build a Patriot's stadium in the City of Boston, on new seaport land where a whole new neighborhood is going up, and the city and locals fought it. Too much $problems$ for a place that'll only be used a relatively short period of time per year, that would require some public $ for infrastructure, probably tax breaks, etc.

Boston has premier pro basketball, baseball, hockey in city limits, NFL and MLS in Foxboro, a suburb. A serious attempt was made to host the summer Olympics in Boston, lot of private $ was spent, Boston made it to the final round, but most people and the city itself were against it. No one wanted to spend a dime of public $. Every city that has hosted the Olympics has been fucked over.

Boston was recently chosen as #1 sports city in America.

I understand some cities will fork over public $ for stadiums, etc. for status I suppose, but follow the $ trail.

They bought a stadium not a team.

For fucks sake, LA is the second largest city and metro area in the US. It should have zero problems hosting Rams. And they should be able to privately fund a stadium.

St. Louis was probably desperate to keep them. Gave them all kinds of public $. Look where it got them? It's a business. At the end of the day sentimentality means nada They used the taxpayers of St. Louis and MO. But St. Louis has far bigger problems than losing the Rams.

The stadium being built in LA is privately funded.

They all should be. Even if it raises prices on people who go to the games they would be voluntarily paying,

My city voted DOWN three times attempts to build stadiums or arenas with public funds. Taxpayers in my city are NOT stupid!

Just down the road however another city's population voted to PUBLICLY FUND a NEW Football Stadium, a NEW Baseball Stadium, and a NEW Arena. Everything added together adds up to almost $2 BILLION Dollars. Talk about a bunch of STUPID people!!

The teams make all the money while the public gets to pay for the arenas /stadiums since the teams basically pay nothing for the use of those facilities ... and generally the teams get to keep ALL the concession money AND PARKING MONEY

I fail to see the fascination with the public voting to give millionaire owners even MORE MILLIONS!!

all these sport teams and players make millions ,and tax payers have to pay for the stadiums

doubt that very much ,actualy san andreas is due now also
