Los Angeles, September 2016: "Should we try going to a Rams game?" "Idk, is it gluten free?"

Well, it's finally official. The NFL is headed back to Los Angeles. The Rams are leaving St. Louis for the City of Angels (well, the city of Inglewood), and while that may be good news for LA sports fans, St. Louis Rams diehards are left to pick up the pieces from this devastating loss. A quick geosearch of tweets from the St. Louis area in the hours since the announcement shows fans going through all five stages of grief in dealing with the loss of the Rams. The denial stage was mostly over long ago, as this move has been in the works for some time now. Then they get into the bargaining and depression stages. St. Louis lingers in the anger stage of grief, perhaps a bit too long, getting in some good digs at LA, but finally the acceptance stage is reached, and St. Louis moves on, making disposal plans for all that St. Louis Rams apparel and memorabilia.
Just unfollowed all the Rams players and the team I was following. A clean break is needed. Will decide who I will root for soon.

I wish ppl quit asking me if I'ma keep rooting for the Rams. Lets just let the stab wounds in my back heal first, ok?

Literally I am sick to my stomach that the Rams are leaving for Los Angeles.

But why can't LA and STL share the Rams? We can switch off every season

not going to watch the super bowl this year or any other year. Thanks for nothing @NFL. Hope you and Kroenke choke on that LA smog you fucks

#Rams good luck with that housing market in LA and cost of living. LA didn't support 1 team think they are going to support 2.

And this whole Rams returning "home" notion is laughable. Brooklyn wants its @Dodgers back. And MN would like a word about the @Lakers.

LA get off the "Rams return home" garbage, you've stole ever team you have from some other city and your entire town is fake

My memory may be failing me but I lived in Los Angeles when Rams left for STL and I don't think a lot of people cared that they were leaving

Reading replies of "who cares" from LA residents about the Rams moving is pissing me off.

@SportsCenter hope LA is hit with a major earthquake.
