After the Rams won the Super Bowl, Roger Goodell gave him the trophy, but no one liked it. It was like watching a movie. Neither of those ignoramuses deserves to be in charge of something that is worth so much. It will take some serious polishing to remove the grease stains from sterling silver.
The good news for the owners of the National Football League is that their moral compasses were lost in couch cushions or private jets years ago, so they could give a fuck about what he does. They might attend the same RNC donor meetings.
You don't have to tolerate him at annual owners meetings when you get into business with him. He is going to fuck you by being himself. When the Missouri government announced a lawsuit against the man who neglected the St. Louis football team, the owners had to know that he would cover the expenses.
The motherfucker who just won the Super Bowl and built a $5 billion stadium isn't keeping up his end of the bargain. The total sum of the settlement is $790 million, and you all get to help the cheapskate.
According to The Athletic, the league took $7.5 million from each team to help cover the cost of the suit. I think team executives were surprised by the development, which caused budgeting issues.
I am not surprised by the owners willingness to overlook every other shady thing he has done. If the man with the mustache is ordered to pay the entire sum, they are worried about his ability to return the $235 million that would be repaid across the 31 other teams.
I would be happy if a bunch of rich guys cost them millions of dollars, but I still am. Even so, the news that Kroenke may go back on his promise has made one of the most unsympathetic groups of human beings sad.
Audible grunting
I'm pretty sure I just did it.
According to the Athletic piece, the owners of the league rarely turn on one another. They might come around to doing something after a few more decades of dragging.
I'm not holding my breath either. When it comes time to vote, they usually toe the line that helps them retain power, even though they may seem like they are not getting along.
If it took multiple investigations and endless public shamings for the owners to realize that Daniel Snyder might be bad for business, Kroenke is going to have to dine-and-dash several hundred more times before they leave the gun and take the cannolis.
