Many Sports, Too Many Franchisees, Same Owner!

Multitasking is good, but to what degree? That’s the question that is lingering in the minds of many sports fans around the globe,

especially with Stan Kroenke now taking on the majority stake in English Premier League’s Arsenal club. The big question is that will he be able to manage it and the other sports franchises that he already owns effectively.

Stan Kroenke’s sport empire is vast and is still growing. But with it spreading and growing rapidly, will he be able to allocate the resources and attention effectively such that all the franchises can have the opportunity to compete at the highest level?

Maybe that is the reason behind him working around the cross-ownership rules to secure a majority stake in the St. Louis Rams. To achieve it, he transferred the ownership of other teams - Denver Nuggets of the NBA and Colorado Avalanche of the NHL, to his kin. That is how he managed to pour $230 million to secure the EPL’s soccer power – Arsenal.

Kroenke also has the MLS’s Colorado Rapids under ownership and people are beginning to wonder if with his extensive ventures, he can still keep all operations humming for all the teams. And that is the same question that has been bugging the Rams’ fans.

If Kroenke allocated his energy and resources to place Arsenal back at the top of the EPL, how will he do justice to the Rams who have their own needs? Will he get the necessary things in place so that Sam Bradford can be an elite player? And the team needs not only a number one wide receiver but it needs a number two as well.

With all this buzz around, the final and important question that remains is – Does Kroenke own too many teams?
