Basically Spanos tried to sabotage Kroenke (to whom he now pays rent), so his competing Carson project would win approval, and in the process opens up the NFL to legal issues. Kroenke sure gets some blame, for willingly breaking a lease to move the team. And St.Louis deserves some compensation, article also indicates that Kroenke tried to settle out of court but St.Louis refused the offer.
Don’t blame Saint Louis at all with the way Kroenke and Demoff napalmed the city on their way out.

1st off the NFL wanted the Rams in LA so they helped the Rams out of the St. Louis deal.
I am not shedding a single tear for the NFL.
Now St. Louis I would get being mad. But the NFL could block a move just like they did when another team was gonna go to LA. If Seattle lost their franchise no NFL team would ever be back there. (to small a market) NFL is behind the scenes pulling strings. if they have to pay 10's of millions for they wanted all along. Well who cares. Sounds like ultimately St. Louis needs to be more mad at the NFL than the Rams Owners.

Just an outside perspective. (no dog in this fight)
Mine was a rhetorical question. I don't know enough about the details to form an opinion. What I did was simplified the question to the point that I laugh about the unsrcrupulous dealings of the NFL and it's owners. So much happens behind closed doors.

An unfaithful women and an unfaithful man go on seperate dates and end up at the same restaurant.

Yes, you said it how many times, now? Seems like you're trying to make yourself believe that more so than giving us your psychic reading, Ms.Cleo

Of course, the settlement is 790 million, with 7-9 Jeff Fisher was the last St.Louis football coach

So it will cost each team $287k Chump change

I think you need to check your math.

The most infuriating part of this settlement is the fact that the law firm that argued it for St. Louis gets to take home more than $260 million of it.
