Some of you might be scratching your heads and wondering how a Super Bowl contending team could be ranked 31st in fan base rankings. To let it be known this data was gathered prior to the start of the 2018-19 NFL season when the Rams had only two seasons in their new hometown of Los Angeles. When the Rams moved from St. Louis to Los Angeles back in 2016, it severely damaged their fanbase who originally thought that owner, Stan Kroenke was going to keep the franchise in Missouri but, decided to relocate the team and move them to the west coast.
The Rams first season in LA didn't go quite as planned as the team ended the season third in the NFC West with a record of 4-12. Since then, the team has become a powerhouse in the league and has won over the community in Los Angeles. If the Rams do end up Super Bowl victors in the upcoming weeks, we can expect their data analysis to differ than of what was taken before the start of the season. The Los Angeles Rams ranked 32nd in fan equity, 32nd in social equity, and 22nd in road equity prior to the beginning of the season.
