*Kroenke doesn't want to be in St. Louis. I'm not sure what more St. Louis could have done to try and get the franchise to stay, short of offering a billionaire to build the stadium completely for free. St. Louis had voted to provide a ton of funding to build a new stadium. The St. Louis stadium proposal was more developed than the Chargers or Raiders.
It has been painfully obvious that Stan Kroenke wanted to make the Rams a terrible team in order to leave St. Louis. He's one of the worst owners in all of professional sports who does nothing for the community and only cares about money. This move was financially motivated regardless of what the NFL says.
It's a sad day for St. Louis. Good luck LA, with an owner like Kroenke you'll need it.
