St. Louis' Most Despised Man

STL Mardi Gras Parade 2015-02-06 17

Enos Stanley Kronke, known as Stan, is the principal owner of the St. Louis Rams football team, the one who made a fool of our region's population when he recently dumped on us and moved the team to Los Angeles. Not that I care for football but this chap epitomizes the arrogance of the super rich.

Stan had the good business sense to marry into the Walmart family fortune. It's said he is worth about $7.5 billion and his wife another $4 billion. He also owns the hockey and basketball teams in Denver and the majority stake in the Arsenal football club near London.  
Some of the displays on the Mardi Gras floats were directed at him. And a prosperous local lawyer paid out of his own pocket for an ad during the Super Bowl to express his thoughts on the subject. Way to go, Terry.

Miami tonight, if the force is with us. Further south tomorrow.
