In January 2016, National Football League owners agreed to let the Rams move from St. Louis to Los Angeles.
The legal action also alleges the Rams allowed St. Louis officials to spend millions of dollars on a stadium proposal, even though the team's owners always meant to relocate to California.
According to a report by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Brian McCarthy, NFL vice president of communications stated that the move to Los Angeles was done fairly.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Missouri House has defeated a proposal to allow voters to decide in 2018 wheth. Another $550 million would've come from the NFL and the Rams, with the team adding $250 million and the league kicking in $300 million.
Demoff: "I promise you, Stan is looking at lots of pieces of land around the world right now and none of them are for football stadiums".
Rams spokesman Artis Twyman said the team would not comment on pending litigation.

The Warriors don't have anything to play for, but they still are working Durant into shape before the playoffs. The Lakers would lose their first-round pick to the Philadelphia 76ers if it falls outside the top three.

In one instance, the plaintiffs cited a December 2016 interview with Rams former head coach Jeff Fisher, who said when he was hired in January 2012 he was told of plans to move to Los Angeles.
After moving to St. Louis the Rams would play four games at Busch Memorial Stadium before moving to the newly constructed Edward Jones Dome (Then Trans World Dome). "The Relocation Policy was adopted to avoid antitrust liability by circumscribing the members' subjective decision-making, but, in reality, the Policy is ignored whenever convenient to pursue a greater profit". The suit also claims the city lost more than $100 million in net proceeds because of the move as well as hotel and property tax revenue and sales tax revenue.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday in St. Louis Circuit Court also names the NFL's 32 teams as defendants and seeks unspecified damages and restitution.
The Rams finished 4-12 in their first season back in Los Angeles and haven't had a winning record in any season since 2003.
