Rams Sale Pending Approval

[Lexwhat]

ST. LOUIS -- Rumors that the St. Louis Rams (http://www.nfl.com/teams/st.louisrams/profile?team=STL) were being sold have been rampant the past couple of years, raising concerns that the franchise would end its recent sad-sack run with a move out of town.


The Rams announced Thursday that its majority owners have indeed agreed to sell their stake, but to a potential buyer within driving distance -- and one who doesn't want to relocate the once-proud franchise.


If approved by a 75 percent vote of NFL owners, Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez, the children of the late Rams owner Georgia Frontiere, will sell their 60 percent stake to Shahid Khan, the 55-year-old president of an auto parts manufacturer, Flex-N-Gate, in Urbana, Ill.

I guess that means no Toronto Rams...

The article that was posted by somebody a few weeks ago mentioned an 'unknown' from the Chicago area...maybe he just meant Illinois, as Urbana is about half-way between the two cities.

OMG it's a freakin joke people...good grief why does everyone have to be so damn sensitive? Why is it that so many posters on this site can all some players such offensive names but when a joke like this about another human being is made the liberals get all bent out of shape? Call the kettle black!

Is redneck offensive? Is it inappropriate to use the term black person when speaking about someone with African American ancestry? Would it be unfair of me to criticise the government about our tax money that is being wasted to put the 9/11 terror suspects on trial rather than strapping two 300lb weights to their ankles and dropping them into 700 feet of water? ugh, how insensitive...

I'm not sorry, it was a joke! I knew someone would get bent out of shape...
