The Missouri Sports Hall of Fame finally came to their senses and kicked Stan Kroenke out. He spent years treating our city like trash so he deserves no place in our history books. I appreciate everyone who stayed focused on this until we forced them to act.

Enos Stanley Kroenke is a businessman born in Columbia, Missouri. He was a big factor in getting the Rams to St. Louis in 1995. He said that St. Louis "is a great football market." Then in 2010 he said he would do "everything in his power to keep the Rams in St. Louis." Then now in 2016, in his 29-page proposal to move the Rams to Los Angeles, Kroenke completely berated and trashed the city of St. Louis.

Kroenke was elected into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame back in 2009 for his efforts in bringing the Rams to St. Louis. His page on the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame says "A native of Mora, MO, Stan Kroenke was instrumental in bringing the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams to St. Louis. In addition to St. Louis, his love of sports has energized many communities including Denver, where he is the owner of NBA’s Denver Nuggets and the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche. Kroenke has continued to grow his sports empire with the purchases of the National Lacrosse League’s Colorado Mammoth and Major League Soccer’s Colorado Rapids. In 2002, he partnered with football legend and Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen to become co-owner of the Arena Football League’s Colorado Crush."

Kroenke has completely turned his back on the city of St. Louis and such aforementioned actions should call for him to be removed from the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.

The Missouri Sports Hall of Fame is still rewarding a man who spent his career lying to this city and trashing our reputation. I am tired of waiting for them to grow a backbone and strip his name from their walls.

If the reason he was inducted was because he was instrumental in getting the Rams to St. Louis, then removing the team from St. Louis without any effort or interest in keeping the team in Missouri is obviously a reason to have this honor vacated.

There should not have to be a petition. As soon as Kroenke belittled the STL region and lied to the NFL relocation committee he should've been removed immediately.

Mr. kroenke may have made a business decision that benefits him, but there was no need to throw mud on St. Louis through the documents prepared for the NFL. The level of vitriol was unnessary ... And classless. Please remove him from the Missouri sports hall of fame.

There is no legitimate reason for this man to be in the Missouri Hall of Fame. Including him marginalizes the deserving members already enshrined and any future inductees.

Former season ticket holder. He had not problem using the St. Louis market and fans as scapegoats for his inability to field a competitive team. He has done the same in Denver with the Avs and Nuggets. It is unlikely he will do any better in LA, just more money. Greedy and unethical man.

The man is a traitor to the state he grew up in. He is responsible for player programs that benefitted the poor in St Louis , coming to an end. No man who does that should be in any Hall of Fame
