I swore them off when they moved from LA (not trying to start THAT discussion). But, the second preseason game the next year I was walking through a casino....wait, the Rams are tv?....ok, I will sit and watch a couple plays....hey, who is that new giant rookie G (Keith Loneker).....hooked again. Took a total of one week and one quarter away and I was back. I am their bitch.

Have to echo Boffo on this. Woulda been almost impossible if Vick was signed.

Already have said that Winston would do that for me, so I'm repeating myself on that one...thankfully, when we win out, we'll be way, way out of the running.

Also, if the Rams did what the 9ers are doing with Ray McDonald or Carolina did with Greg Hardy... allow a rapist to play (in Harbaugh's case, he specifically has gone against his own rule). Yeah, that would be the end for me.

It would be hard to stay on board if they moved. If 2 franchises left the city in my life I may take a break from the NFL for a bit.

I am vested in the Ferguson incident and following shenanigans. While I understand Britt had the arm band on, and has a criminal history, I don't think they meant to be malicious against other crime fighters. This is a real bad time to talk of boycotting the Rams. We are fighting to keep our team and we need fan support. Also, sports brings us all together. Bridges the social decide. No other outlet lets you celebrate with 65,000 fellow human beings.

I don't live in St. Louis anymore, but if they left, I'd stop being a fan. I just wouldn't be able to continue to support them that left the city I was born and raised in, that my family and friends all still live in and who sat with the worst stretch in NFL history.

Other than that, maybe death, that might just about do it.

It's been almost a week and I'm still seeing Facebook pages and news networks dedicated to "Boycotting the St.Louis Rams". Which, if you think about it, is pretty good considering this country's attention span. I've gone through hundreds of comments and posts and articles explaining why they won't support or watch the Rams EVER again. It got me really thinking about it. I mean, people still supported the Ravens after the Ray Lewis and Ray Rice thing. People supported the Vikings after Adrian Peterson was suspended. I really believe that if you're a true fan of a team, your mind, heart and dedication would never allow you to do such a thing. Obviously this is just my opinion but it's just baffling how many people have actually gotten behind this idea. I can't even think of a scenario, aside from the NFL disbanding altogether, that would actually make me wanna stop watching the Rams. Thoughts?
Maybe when I'm Dead and Gone! Maybe!! It depends on where I go from here!!!

If I have not stopped by now, I guess I won't! After a decade of loosing, I am the only person in my family that still watches/goes to every game. I am a Rams fan!

Here's the thing for me .... I have no "stake" in the Ferguson thing. I mean as far as .. I wasn't there. did not witness it, so Grand Jury or not ... I still don't know the "truth". Now ... that isn't me taking a side ... one way or another. I think the whole situation from both sides is a damn tragedy! Just a fact. Then ... there is the AMERICAN thing ... .the RIGHT to express your views/opinions. It is fundamentally each and every one of our's RIGHT to do so. Do I have to like or agree with opposing views?? Nope ... But I DO RESPECT that right.

Just like religion, political views, etc.... I am a Christian ... but we have players that are Christian, Muslim, Atheist, etc .... Do I have to agree or a bide by what they think? Nope ... but I do RESPECT their RIGHTS.

So ... whether I agree or not on what the five players did ... all they really did is evoke their right to a cause. If I decided to not talk to, listen to, follow, be a fan of, work for, .....you get my drift ...everyone or thing I did not agree with, then I would be one LONELY and miserable person!

These players did not harm anyone. They committed no crime. I think there is a shallowness to all this hoopla over it. .... just MHO

Nothing. Want them to stay in St Louis, but followed back in LA. A few knuckleheads making a political statement of sorts has no impact.

If anything, Cook, Bailey, Austin, Givens and Mason made me like the team more, not less.

My grandfather used to take my dad to Rams games in Cleveland when he was a kid. My Uncle played in the Rams band in the 50's at the Coliseum and i've been a fan since the late 70's, doesn't seem like anything's gonna change that...

Maybe when they all had their hands in the air it was meant to emulate referees signaling touchdowns.
God knows they sure ended up scoring many on that day

A move to LA.
So you'd be fine with a move anywhere else? ;)

I think this went to the wrong thread.
