(the Los Angeles Rams are a professional American football team based in the Los Angeles metropolitan area)
The Rams compete in the National Football League (NFL), as a member club of the National Football Conference (NFC) West division. The Rams franchise has won three NFL championships, and is the only franchise to win championships while representing three different cities (Cleveland in 1945, Los Angeles in 1951, and St. Louis in 1999).
The franchise began in 1936 as the Cleveland Rams, located in Cleveland, Ohio.
(the club was owned by Homer Marshmanand featured players such as William “Bud” Cooper, Harry “The Horse” Mattos, Stan Pincura, and ‘Mike Sebastian’)
(‘Damon “Buzz” Wetzel’ joined as general manager)
After winning the 1945 NFL Championship Game, the franchise moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1946, making way for Paul Brown’s Cleveland Browns of the All-America Football Conference and becoming the only NFL championship team to play the following season in another city. The club played their home games at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum before moving into a reconstructed Anaheim Stadium in nearby Anaheim in 1979.
After the 1994 NFL season, the Rams left California and moved east to St. Louis, Missouri. Five seasons after relocating, the team won Super Bowl XXXIV in a 23–16 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Rams continued to play in the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis until the end of the 2015 NFL season, when the team filed notice with the NFL of its intent to pursue a relocation back to Los Angeles.
(the move was approved by a 30–2 margin at an owners’ meeting in January 2016, with the Rams returning to the city for the 2016 NFL season)
