Rams are officially back in Los Angeles

They'll play in the LA Coliseum until 2019, when the new Inglewood stadium is complete.

I feel for the fans in St Louis, but the team never should have moved from LA to begin with. It's a new era for sure.

All this means to me is another crappy team in California.

I get the NFL's desire to move into the LA market, but man do I hate how much talk there is about moving teams. The Chargers, Raiders, and Rams are all possibly moving. That is too much. I also find it irresponsible for states to keep funding these new stadiums with tax payer money. Doesn't California have bigger issues then people not having a football field in downtown LA? St. Louis wasn't the best destination for an NFL team and I get them moving, but man does all this talk just rub me the wrong way. This could also lead to NY, California, and Texas potentially having 8 NFL franchises between them (3 biggest markets). That is 25% of the NFL.

Well, the new stadium is going to be in Inglewood, for one. And I believe Kroenke is paying for the vast majority of it with his own money.

It's insane how rich he is. I hadn't realized it until I looked up his name the other day.

In defense of California, and I hadn't ever really thought of it this way until recently, East Coast has a lot more states packed in (NC, SC, GA, FL, VA, etc). West Coast is basically like 3 big states. So I don't mind them (Cali) having 4 NFL teams.
