Quote:In all honesty, from a business perspective, Kroenke played it exactly right. Buy the team without leaking one shred of your intention to move it, don't say a thing about LA, then out of the blue buy the land for a stadium that you intend to build yourself. If the league had refused to approve his move, that would have been one thing, but if they'd attempted to prevent him entirely from taking his business to his preferred venue, where he'd already laid out a few thousand tons of cash to build a new office for it, it would have been anti-trust suit central.

The league basically has given approval to that and more; any billionaire can hide his true intentions, buy a team, and move it without acting in good faith. And he can do it without stadium issues, or Kroenke's case, completely ignore a viable stadium proposal. Meaning the team can have a perfectly good stadium or plan for one and the owner can give them the middle finger. This means Khan could theoretically move the team with an owners vote anytime he wants. That's just an extreme example, but the league is basically saying now it doesn't matter. Goodell really pissed me off on this one
