On X · @MySportsUpdateRams Owner Stan Kroenke Reportedly Buying Los Angeles Angels from Arte MorenoThe post by sports insider Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) claims that Stan Kroenke, owner of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams (and other teams), is purchasing the MLB’s Los Angeles Angels from longtime owner Arte Moreno. It notes this would give Kroenke controlling interests in the Rams (NFL), Angels (MLB), Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), and Arsenal (soccer). It is trending due to the massive multi-league sports empire angle, the unpopularity of Moreno’s Angels tenure (often criticized for wasting Mike Trout’s prime with little playoff success), high engagement (thousands of likes/views shortly after posting), and excitement/speculation about future competitiveness and stadium possibilities.1,707 likes · 14m
