Once you're kidnapped and you have access to your phone, don't panic. Don't call the police.
Go to twitter, insult the President, the and the Chief of Army Staff. Make sure you write their full names in the insult. Within 3 to 6 hours the Army and the police will locate you.
What you're looking at in that image is not just a stadium. It's the physical proof that when an empire builder decides to make a statement, the number on the receipt becomes almost abstract.
The $5.5 billion SoFi Stadium did not come from public coffers or municipal bonds. Stan Kroenke built it through his own company, using private capital alongside bank loans and NFL-backed financing. No taxpayer wrote that check. That detail matters more than the price tag itself, because it tells you something about how Kroenke operates: he bets on himself, at scale.
And the scale is genuinely hard to process. The previous record holder was MetLife Stadium in New Jersey at $1.7 billion. SoFi surpassed that by more than three times. Not 20% more. Not double. Three times. The jump between those two buildings is the gap between ambition and obsession.
Now layer in the Arsenal connection and you start to see the full picture of who this family is. Stan Kroenke's holding company controls Arsenal in the Premier League, the Los Angeles Rams in the NFL, the Denver Nuggets in the NBA, the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL, the Colorado Rapids in MLS, and the Colorado Mammoth in the NLL. One family, one portfolio, six major sports franchises across two continents, plus the most expensive stadium ever built.
Arsenal won the Premier League in 2026, their first title in 22 years. So the same ownership group hosting the World Cup at SoFi just watched their London club end a two-decade drought. Whatever you think of the Kroenkes, the scorecard right now is hard to argue with.
The lesson I keep coming back to is this: people obsess over the cost of big bets and miss the compounding logic underneath them. Kroenke spent $5.5 billion on a venue that now hosts the World Cup, the Olympics, the Super Bowl, and Champions League-level soccer. The naming rights deal alone with SoFi was worth roughly $625 million over twenty years, averaging more than $30 million per season.
The stadium paid for its own name before the first kickoff. That is what a correctly sized bet looks like in hindsight. The question worth asking yourself today is not how much something costs. It is how many ways can it pay you back.
As a guy, if your friend is scared of his babe or wife, never tell him anything confidential. CUT HIM OFF!
A man who has to run home at 7pm so madam no go vex. A man who has to crosscheck every decision with his wife so she doesn't vex and veto it. A man who doesnt call the shot in his house. A man who has to relay every conversation with the boys with his wife. AVOID!!!
She is destroying him and he will destroy you by exposing every conversation to her for her validation.
As of today, June 12, 2026, the 42 schoolchildren abducted from Mussa Primary and Junior Day Secondary School in Askira-Uba, Borno State, have been held in captivity for 28 days.
We need to grind this country to a halt.
Shut systems down.
Inconvenience every fucking person.
Because we are moving like this are not bad because they aren’t really touching us.
We need to scatter this place oh!
Kids are in captivity! Children! Across states!
JUST IN:
Fulani kidnappers abducted two residents in Umuahia North and demanded millions in ransom.
Instead of waiting helplessly, hundreds of local youths stormed the forests, surrounded the kidnappers, rescued the victims alive, and captured all six suspects.
The victims are back home. The kidnappers are in police custody.
A powerful reminder that courage and community can achieve what fear cannot.
God bless Ndi Abia. But next time, send those monsters to heaven instead taking them to the police.
Nigerian supporters club would never have gotten the visa if we qualified. Let this be the last time the US host the World Cup. If you would not give access to the world, you have no business hosting the World Cup.
Nonsense!
