The Rams started in Cleveland in the old AAFC and kind of got muscled to Los Angeles by the Browns in 1946. They played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The Rams re-located to Anaheim in 1980 then they moved to Saint Louis in 1995, then they returned to LA in 2016.

Although their rivalry with the 49ers is one of the best in football history, it isn't hard to imagine fan loyalty isn't a strong suit.

Actually the Cleveland Rams were an NFL team, and a good one at that. The Browns were the powerhouse of the All American Conference, displaced the Rams. The Rams decamped for LA and left Cleveland to the Browns, who promptly won the NFL in their first year.

The Browns, not the Rams were in the AAFC. The Cleveland Rams won the NFL championship in 1945 before heading west, NOT because the AAFC Browns were just getting started. The Rams were in the NFL in the ‘30s, before there was a AAFC. Long live Waterfield/Van Brocklin/Crazy Legs Hirsch!
