Kroenke named as one of NFL's defining characters in 2016

Sports Illustrated is calling Rams owner Stan Kroenke one of the 16 people who defined the National Football League in 2016.

Referring to him as "possibly the most hated man in Missouri," Korenke placed 11th on the list. During the year, Kroenke entered a deal to build a $2.9 billion stadium in Inglewood, California, and moved the Rams there from St. Louis.

No. 1 on the list was Colin Kaepernick, the 49er who took a knee during the national anthem.
