Whoa.

It looks like Fox is hiring "fans" for the nationwide broadcast of the football show. The Rams aren't hiring them.

They said that 10,000 tickets were sold to Eagles fans for this game.

Whoa.

The comments section for this article is a scream—loads of funny stuff. Angelenos are very much aware of the collective S. Cal “meh” reaction to the Rams (and Chargers) being in town.

Now that is some great marketing. Elevating the brand and demand any way they can.

Window dressing.

No different than what's been goes on here in Phoenix for decades when you go to the games. Always a large contingent of opposing team jerseys. They LIVE HERE.

LA and Phoenix are transplant destinations. That will never change.

I would accept payment for pretending I am a fan of another team, except the Steelers.

That's even worse than the Silicon Valley tech companies who hire models to attend company parties because they think it helps them retain male employees.
