Arsenal: Stan Kroenke is a truly vile human being

Stan Kroenke is taking his online hunting channel, MOTV, to an international audience via a new app. He is a vile human being, who has ruined the St Louis, now Los Angeles, Rams, and will ruin Arsenal if given the opportunity.

Arsenal’s owner Stan Kroenke is a vile human being. While that may seem like a harsh assessment of someone that I have never met or had any personal interaction with, given the way that he has managed the North London club, the American Football franchise, The Rams, and now his latest escapade into hunting — I will expand on this further — I feel that it is a fairly valid statement.

I am all for giving people the benefit of the doubt, for offering second chances when mistakes are made, for seeking redemption, repentance and reformation, not retribution, reprisal and retaliation. But in Kroenke’s case, it is more than a simple mistake; it is a systematic, conscious and calculated decision, over and over again. That is very different.

It was in 2010 that Kroenke became the majority shareholder of the then St. Louis Rams. Since then, they are an organisation, who on the shoulders of Kurt Warner and the ‘Greatest Show on Turf’ won the Super Bowl in 1999 and returned in 2001, have slumped to mediocrity. Wins became losses; crowds turned away; finances began to slip.

Kroenke, being the selfish, financial man that he is, saw an opportunity. He uprooted the franchise, shipping them to Los Angeles in the summer of 2016. The most recent move took place nearly 20 years prior. The NFL was more stable and established than it had ever been. And then Kroenke saw the dollar signs in his eyes.

The first time Kroenke bought shares in Arsenal football club was 2007. At the time, they were a stable and established club. They are, very much like the Rams, now tumbling towards mediocrity. Some may blame Arsene Wenger; I blame Stan Kroenke.

And now, to complete his characteristic, Kroenke is wanting to publicise his hunting channel, MOTV, on an international scale, releasing an app that is available in English-speaking countries around the world.

While this channel has more than just hunting, there is a large section, and perhaps its most celebrated section, that champions the hunting of animals, particularly of the big cats on the plains of Africa. People may have different views on the morality of hunting, especially from America to the United Kingdom, but I am not one who supports it in any way shape or form.

And this is now just the latest disgusting action of Kroenke. He has ripped the soul out of the Rams, he is ripping the soul out of Arsenal, and now he wants hunting to be worldwide. This is the man in charge of our club.
