of a dedicated, albeit somewhat naive, fan base... so not only does this club no give a shit about it's fans, this clearly shows that clubs primary interests aren't even soccer related... for all intent and purposes Kroenke doesn't care if we're a soccer club or a
tampon factory as long as we continue to maximized his investment... stay woke people... great to see more and more people commenting on the state
of the franchise... this club needs to be held accountable for it's actions
