“And the Rams will either play at a gleaming new stadium in L.A. or a gleaming new stadium in St. Louis financed with everybody else’s money.”

Hey, you’re the one who’s insisting that a sovereign tribe comport itself to your liking.

Does every decision a government makes have to come via referendum to be legitimate?

The tribe has spoken. You don’t personally like how they came to their decision, but that’s neither your place nor mine to determine. If the members of the tribe did’t like that decision, then they have had time to seek their own…

Yes, they most certainly did. That’s how a representative form of government works.

The tribe did have a say in the matter, through its elected officials. That’s how it works.

“It would just be nice if there were any level of consistency in how this was applied.”

Yeah, it really sucks when a whole group of people say “Stop using our name without permission,” doesn’t it? Life is totally unfair.

Gandalf. And Morpheus.

No foolin’.

No, they don’t.

Except Kroenke is the one reasonable person in this whole sorry mess. He wants to move the team to Los Angeles, and is willing to pay for his own damn stadium when he gets there.
