Goodbye, Madame Ram

We are told not to speak ill of the dead. Accordingly, regarding Georgia Frontiere, I can say nothing at all.

I have read many of the glowing remembrances of Madame Ram, but here’s another point of view: I will remember her as the person who took professional football out of Los Angeles because she wasn’t wealthy enough and blamed the fans for her unfettered greed.

I was always appalled at the lousy press Georgia Frontiere received in the L.A. Times. She was a dedicated owner of the Rams, generous, gracious, loyal and extremely philanthropic.

It was Carroll Rosenbloom who moved the Rams to Anaheim, not in small part due to the intransigent Coliseum Commission. And the Anaheim City Council was just as bad. When the Rams, at their expense, wanted to build a weight-workout facility at Rams Park they were rejected -- forcing them to lift weights outside in variable weather.

The city of St. Louis and the fans really embraced the Rams, and Georgia. It made a difference.

It is no surprise that T.J. Simers takes the positive, or opposite view of everyone else, regarding Georgia Frontiere’s impact and influence on the Los Angeles sports scene.

I was part of the Rams Car Dealer organization, furnishing a car in exchange for tickets and one away trip with the team. Those of us this close to Rams operations have yet to be able to figure out why Steve Rosenbloom didn’t end up running and eventually owning the team.

I’ll take Christine Daniels’ eulogy over Simers’.
