He’s an American
His only reason for owning Arsenal is to make money
I can’t really hate on him for it

just that, I don't think Arsenal have missed the Champions League or the Europa League since the mid-1990's. If you're going to have sympathy for an English football club and its fans, it should be Bury, Leyton Orient, Bolton Wanderers, Blackpool, Portsmouth or AFC Wimbledon.

Say what you will about Kroenke but I respect him for entirely privately financing a multi-billion dollar stadium instead of using taxpayer dollars.

He opened a great stadium and knocked the Clippers out of the playoffs.
Los Angeles loves him right now.

Arsenal ranks third in the Premier League in net spending over the past five years. For comparison's sake, Chelsea and Liverpool rank 13th and 14th respectively in net spending and have won league titles over that time span. The difference is Chelsea had Antonio Conte as their manager and Liverpool had Jurgen Klopp while Arsenal's had a past his prime Wenger and Unai Emery.

My brother and I joke that wherever there’s a Walmart, there’s always a GameStop within a stones throw. (Or at least there was in the 2000s). I suppose that’s by design.

I was replying to westcoast because he said Stan doesn't spend money on fake sports. What im talking about is Stan's refusal to spend money on the rams while in st louis

LOL, keep believing that horse shite. The tax breaks he's getting will hurt LA in the next decade.
He didn't get the upfront TIF, he got so many tax breaks that the City is getting fricked by 2 dicks.
Once the next Mayor comes in and actually looks at that deal, he's going to shite at how Kroenke literally walked away with LA's money.

Arsenal hasn't won the Premier League in almost 2 decades. Kroenke's only had a majority share since 2011.
Lol what a spin here. It's 2020, they last won the Premier League in 2003-2004, and he took over in 2011. Thus he's been the owner for the majority of the "two decades rounding up" you are referring to.
And the games are routinely the most expensive to go to in the entire league, I don't blame the fans for hating him.
