NFL will be better off without dirtbag Kroenke

yes you are misunderstanding.

Kroenke was negotiating with StL to settle for all of NFL. Now is threatening to only settle for himself unless NFL agrees to split cost by 32 teams. If following through with demand/ransom it leaves all other teams liable for suits and damages.

 

Kroenke turncoat liar could offer StL $300 to $500 million to settle his claim only. That would set precedent for all 31 other teams to also be potentially on hook for same. $9.3 to $15.5 billion total.

 

So cheater Kroenke could save $9.3 to $15.5 billion by settling his separately. It remains to be seen if cheater would survive the impending lawsuit all owners will bring to make him pay all settlements as he promised in return for allowed to move to LA.  Many owners said they would not have approved the move if he had not promised to cover all potential legal costs and suits.

 

If legal to do first, NFL owners would be smart to sue cheater now to find out if cheater is on the hook for paying NFL for any or all settlement costs. Then go settle w StL. LOL 🤣

It's a jackass move by Kroenke's lawyers, but that only makes him the biggest jackass in a stable of jackasses. The remaining NFL owners would have no potential liability unless they were complicit in the St. Louis screwjob. NFL owners are a special club of self-interested pompous billionaires. I have trouble making myself single out Kroenke against the likes of Jerry Jones and Daniel Snyder.

With things like this, the only thing I really care about is what it means for Buffalo. It's very, very good for Bills fans because the league is going to be extremely skeptical of franchise movies going forward given this mess.

Oh but they are...read the previous post a few weeks ago about how Saint Louis found out about various conversations and emails between Jones and Kroenke as to how to get out of there while they were still supposedly dealing with them in good faith and how to spin it to the other owners so they would approve it.

I am all for anyone who wants to stick it Roger Goodell even in a second hand way.  He has single handedly ruined the NFL.  I long for the days of Pete Rozelle and Paul Tagliabue.

Amen.
 

He screwed St Louis big time.  He ruined the team and tried to drive away the fans.  Then he pulled a lot of Shiite, trying to make a city with a perfectly functional dome stadium build him a palace when the city has LOTS of more important priorities.  Then he builds the palace in LA and lures the Chargers away from SD.   He tried to get the Raiders too.  
 

He does not care about people or the communities that he rapes.

I agree.  I will  add that Ralph C Wilson was above this type of behavior.  Otherwise the Bills would have been gone long ago.  Ralph was not the best owner from a tactical football perspective.  But his integrity and commitment to the Bills in Buffalo cannot ever be questioned.

Ralph was a gem as a person. He came from the world of old money where having class was considered a responsibility of wealth. Kraft and Jones are prototypes of modern wealth, and NFL owners.

He isn't sticking it to Goodell, he is still getting his 60 mil...he is sticking to the 31 other owners who basically helped him out and allowed him to move with the understanding he was responsible for any issues that arose from it and he agreed. Now he is trying to weasel his way out after the fact.

 

If that's the type.of person you want to get behind...a dude who stabs others in the back and has zero integrity then I feel bad for you.

 

Where I grew up, this is the type of dude who got his ass whooped. You don't do that kind of stuff to your friends.

NFL owners are beholden to him for all the money he's made them by leaving small market St. Louis and shepherding through a massive show case palace in the biggest market in North America. He IS one of them. They may be pissed that he is breaching his indemnity agreement with them but I can just about guarantee that this bloodless shark is not going to get thrown out of the club. It's always about money. There are no other values that appeal to these people despite the public relations attempts to make you think they have an interest in patriotism (the military displays are everywhere every week), breast cancer (gotta control the women's market) and any other cause you can think of. Kroenke maybe an a...hole but he is their kind of a..hole. The lawyers will settle it out eventually and Kroenke will end up paying more but likely less than he would have if he'd abided by the indemnity provision.

That red power tie play reeks of over compensation, covering massive insecurities imo

 

The red power tie was because he was at the FA Cup final and Arsenal wear red.

 

I can confirm though he is a shitbag of an owner. Our choices at the time were Kroenke who is a money obsessed liar a d cheat or a convicted Uzbek criminal with shady connections to Putin. 

 

Who says sport hasn't sold its soul? 😄

[Ethan in Cleveland]

I hope St. Louis sees this through to the end. Communities need more power over these franchises.

They aren't beholden to him at all. They were the ones who allowed it to happen in the first place. They could voted no and he would have been stuck there.

Legally dubious arguments Kroenke's team is making.  

 

He chose to indemnify the others and now he's challenging his own letter of indemnification. 

 

 

Doesn't make sense anyway.  Does he think he's going to offer and have accepted a lowball amount to STL and have the league pay for some huge other amount?  Why wouldn't he prefer to have the huge amount spread over all the owners, if he's bent on nullifying the indemnification?

He made the proposal that convinced them to do it, he bought the land, had the resources to make it happen and DID make it happen. They have a showcase pleasure palace in the biggest media market in North America. No more little St Louis and the step sister to the south with their stadium issues has been eradicated.  You are positing what the NFL lawyers will be arguing. That'll take an amazing amount of time and money to adjudicate on top of what they are going to be hit with by the Federal lawsuit in St Louis. I'd be shocked if the NFL owners don't settle with Kroenke.

It will be a lovely day when the NFL has to pay St. Loius a billion, and a expansion team because one man was greedy and wanted to break the rules.

They will simply rewrite the bylaws that make it more explicit that they as a group can move teams as they please (i.e. eliminate whatever of their own "rules" they have allegedly not followed for the Rams).

And he agreed to be responsible for any and all issues arising from it. Case closed.
