Rams fans react to team's departure Live
There was an early outpouring on Twitter upon the news that the St. Louis Rams were leaving town and heading to Los Angeles. For some fans it was a severe blow to the gut, while others said "Good riddance."



My 9-year-old nephew, who just got into football, is in tears because the Rams are leaving. Thanks for lying to the #STLNFL fans, @NFL.

The past six years with the St. Louis Rams have been some of the best years of life. 💙💛 I honestly cannot put into words how much this organization has helped me grow as a person, a leader, and a teammate. I have been blessed to cheer on my favorite team from the best seats in the house, travel and perform all over the world with my best friends, represent the team at Pro Bowl, and give back to this amazing community as much as possible. I am forever indebted to the St. Louis Rams, and I am so proud to have been a part of this team. I have a heavy heart tonight, but on to the next chapter in my life! #StLouisRams #Rams #RamsCheer #NFL

These Rams, the same ones that brought us the Greatest Show on Turf, are leaving due to the greed of an owner. Truly heartbreaking. #ByeRams

The NFL is garbage and Kroenke is literally Satan, but I love my city. We'll always have the GSOT, St. Louis. Now and forever #ramup

While googling "Stan Kroenke", I accidentally typed "Satan Kroenke" #AccidentallyOnPurpose

And there was reaction from public officials:
The NFL and Stan Kroenke have displayed a callous disregard for the St. Louis area and its loyal football fans.

Start the countdown clock on the Rams moving back to St. Louis. I give them 20 years in LA.

My mom hates sports. The only Rams player she came name is Kurt Warner. I know she'll buy our family discounted Rams' gear. She likes deals.
