Rams to LA: It Wasn't "Good" Business

From the moment it was announced the rhetoric began. It came from the owners who had voted and lobbied for it. It came from the lawyers on staff at ESPN. It came from the the hall of fame players who spent time on the team. They were all saying the same thing about the St. Louis Rams being moved back to Los Angeles:

"You have to understand the business side of it."

Most would agree, those of us in St. Louis had a right to feel upset, disappointed, and even betrayed. Yet, many insisted it was strictly business. This was the best move for the Rams and the NFL because it meant more money would be made for the League and the team. This meant it was a smart business decision, and an acceptable outcome. Money makes the world go 'round after all.
