In other words, they’re stuck in neutral. Besides the fact that the Missouri Hall has no policy to remove members, Andrews said there is concern about setting a precedent if Kroenke is removed.

“If you remove someone, then what’s that going to do the next time someone wants somebody removed, and the next time, and so on?” Andrews said. “Over the years from time to time, someone’s written me that: ‘Did you know so-and-so did this? How can you allow them to continue to be a member of the Hall of Fame?’

“It’s all in the eyes of the beholder, I guess, about what they did. This situation obviously has been much, much more public. And that’s made it more difficult for us to have the ability to deal with, or not deal with. But the bottom line was he was chosen worthy by a selection committee several years ago to be inducted.”

All of which means absolutely nothing to many fans in St. Louis who remain bitter over the departure of Kroenke and his Rams. Andrews is still hearing from them.

“I’ve been accused of keeping him in (the Hall of Fame) because he’s giving us money,” Andrews said. “It’s really not of public interest in terms of what someone gives us and what they don’t, but I’ve not seen any private gifts from Kroenke, or his family for the matter.”

If Kroenke has donated money, Andrews added, “It’s news to me. I’d sure like to see some of the money. Hey, I’ve had people offer me money to take him out (of the Hall).”
