I don't understand. Why didn't they come out and play in australia? So australia only has a population of 26 million and China had a population of 1 billion. What's that got to do with anything.

Everything is about money. Why did the Rams move to St Louis? Money. Why did he want to move them back to LA? Money. Why did St Louis say no to the Rams proposal? Money. Why did the Task Force design the stadium financing the way they did? Money. Why did they design the terms the way they did? Money. It's always been about money, and every side was trying to get as much as they could.. Someone had to win, and it was Stan.



That was probably the NFL more than anything. They likely told them "Yeah, you guys are going to be on Hard Knocks." and rather than say they were forced into it, they said they agreed to do so. It's better in terms exposure, but I don't think they were jumping at the chance to be on the show.



He tried to grow the brand internationally, and the CVC said no, so they pulled back. It was part of the relocation agreement that they had to play 3 international games (as the NFL wants to grow their brand) so it's not really any shock.. China isn't an accident either, given that the west coast has more Asians (vs Europeans on the East) they were planning that for whoever moved to LA, it's a logical connection. I would be shocked if we see the Rams play a home game overseas after 2019, and there's a decent chance they don't really get away games there either. They're paying their dues now.

This is so common sense it must not be that common. It's not complicated.

NEWS FLASH:THE RAMS ARE FIRST AND FOREMOST A BUSINESS IN AMERICA WHICH LOOKS TO GAIN THE BIGGEST PROFIT MARGAIN AND CONNECT TO MORE " CONSUMERS".

Geez

For sure I will, I'm not joking either, plus I have a ton of time to get ready and no family or kids to worry about. I'll be taking my last online classes to cruise through school so I'll be good.

I'm so debating the London game this year. Don't know if it will work at all... But I'll post pics if I do.

Rams fans are always complaining that the team never gets any attention. In one day we find out we're on Hard Knocks and now we're going to China. Even that bloviating pile of excrement Chris Berman will have to mention the Rams. Come on guys!

Well, let's hope they don't relocate to China and be renamed the Dolls.

I prefer being in front of our home crowd.

I want to win games.

Winning gets people wearing your team's hat around the globe.

Winning. Winner. Winnie the Pooh.

Have I said win enough?

Just freakin win, Rams.

Real home games help.

Winning in China could start a new fad, NFL logo bird flu masks.

Because Australia already has freedom and American football, that's why. It's all part of America's foreign policy plan.. First let China slightly embrace capitalism and the internet, then give them football and watch democracy take over.

Asia is pretty cheap, beautiful.. My friends who have gone said they basically lived like royalty for minimal dollars.

I've been to China once and I'd LOVE an excuse to go back. The idea of going back to China AND catching a regular season Rams game AT THE SAME TIME!!!

OMG, that'd be about the coolest thing ever...
