Stay classy, Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Rams took out a full-page ad in the Friday edition of the Arizona Republic to thank the Arizona Cardinals’ owners, staff and local community after they played their first playoff game this year at State Farm Stadium on Monday night.
‘In times of adversity, true integrity is shown,’ the ad reads. ‘Arizona, you were there for us when we needed it most.
‘We are grateful to the Bidwill Family, the entire Arizona Cardinals staff, and the local community who took us in without hesitation and with gracious hospitality.
‘From all of us at the Los Angeles Rams, THANK YOU.’

Los Angeles was set to host its wild-card matchup against the Minnesota Vikings before spreading wildfires in the area forced the Rams to relocate the site of the game. The Cardinals offered their stadium for use and even sent two team planes to Los Angeles to pick up Rams players, staff and family members and bring them to Arizona ahead of last weekend’s game.
The Rams went on to defeat the Minnesota Vikings, 27-9, and will play the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round Sunday, but they didn’t forget to express their gratitude first to those who made it possible.
