You believe what they want you to believe, that there are 32 independent franchises who have free will.
But the reality is : The NFL shares 70 to 75 percent of its $18 billion-a-year income including television/broadcast/internet rights and licensing. Ticket sales are split 66 percent for the home team and the other 34 percent shared equally among all franchises. Only luxury boxes sales (which explains the "need" for new stadiums), local advertising & sponsorships, and official pro shop sales are not shared. No other league shares as much of its income as the NFL.
The Shield is a brand. They all work together to ensure the earning potential of that brand. Anything that will tarnish the brand is not acceptable.
You're blind and dumb if you haven't noticed the (unwarranted) push EB has received by the NFL and its talking heads.

Then when the Flores case goes to court, the NFL can point to how EB was hired by the defending SB Champs.
There's hardly more luster on any team than the one that just won the Super Bowl.
The Flores lawsuit alleges A LOT.
Perhaps your and idiot and don't know anything about that...but he's suing the NFL and saying that black coaches get shit jobs and incentives to lose on purpose.
And if the Rams hire EB they CAN absolutely point to that as a marquee NFL team giving a minority coach a highly sought after position, and that would dilute Flores' case immeasurably. You fucking morans.
Context is everything, you ignorant fucking twit. [Reply]

Context is everything, you ignorant fucking twit.
The NFL is going to ask the Rams for this favor to make them look better in a potential lawsuit? And the Rams just do this?
Playing right back into your stupid conspiracy nonsense. It makes no sense. [Reply]

No way do the rams shift from their current offensive scheme. The owners are all multi billionaires, they may want the other owners to take a bullet for the law suit but most all the ones that are winning programs are not shooting themselves. [Reply]

The Rams and the NFL have had a long, strange, and storied history of doing a lot of shit that doesn't make sense on the surface to help each other make money...
I mean, the Rams moved to fucking St Louis becsuse the NFL already had a lease on a domed stadium, which actually gave the team opportunities to seek other options for venues later...
So, both time the Rams moved because the NFL wanted them to...and both times the Rams win the Super Bowl within a few years of moving...
Yeah, they're not doing each other any favors. Stan Kroenke didn't just basically take a bullet for the NFL they all got sued by St Louis...
No conspiracy. Nothing to see here. It's ALL on the up-and-up. [Reply]

The Rams already won. They will have to dismantle their All-Star team sooner rather than later.
Their window is already closing.
McVay took them to 2 Super Bowls since they've been in LA. And Stafford is old.
Kroenke took the brunt of that lawsuit for moving his team to one of the biggest TV markets in the US...he got to go to a couple SBs and win one...now he's gotta pay the piper.
It's just business. And these are businessmen who all get the same 1/32 of that $18 BILLION pie...no matter what.
McVay will command top dollar. EB will not.
Not a tough decision. For anyone involved.
McVay takes the fat TV contract, EB gets a raise and a marquee job (literally doesn't matter if he's capable or not), and Kroenke gets his 1/32 of that money. [Reply]
