So, Echo Fox is selling their slot in the LCS to Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, Riot still has to approve the sale and Rick Fox is not happy about how this all went down.
How the hell did we get here?

Echo Fox didn’t even respond to the racism stuff. Smh
I was thinking "here we go another white dude" but then its an indian dude, which im not even surprised by.
Easily the most racist group of people in the world.
black dude being racist… this is new to me
No we gotta fight for Rick!!
Rick, deserves better.
Papa Fox noooo 🙁
Right in the feels
good video but ‘dont @ me’ is a terrible name
This is really sad. Watching Rick Fox win championship with the Lakers and being an eSports ambassador after, he didn't deserve this. He's done so much for the scene…
I truly hope karma comes around.
Kronke owns Sentinels formerly Phoenix1, so rebrand is the obvious route for them.
I cant wait for Rick fox's sound bite to be memed to hell and back
This is why you don't do business with Indians
I feel… Wikipedia for fucked lol
Muh feelings!
This gives a good perspective of how ruthless the world of business is. A successful businessman will never give up ownership for hurting someone’s feelings. Just not how business works. I hope he receives consequences for his actions. But money is the only language they speak in business so I heavily doubt he will be affected.
Kroenke could immediately build a huge base of supporters if they got Rick Fox involved in whatever they do with their LCS slot. The entire community adores the guy.
Honestly, why is anybody surprised? Why is anybody outraged? This is the world we live in; when you treat sports as a business this is what happens. Rick fox is literally the owner, he brought this on himself. People act as if the more money you put into esports the better, but this is what happens. Money has already ruined other sports, and it was always a problem with LoL.
You have noone but yourself to blame. Rick Fox has noone but himself to blame.
You've made your bed, now lie in it.
LOL kroenke are shit heads who only give a shit about money and dont care about the sport. Just look at AFC
I feel farted?
The guy can't pronounce S and Z it's so annoying oh my fucking god couldn't watch.
you are getting bald and it is ok man. it is all cool but dont do that shit where you let your hair grow and cower for bald spots man. dont be that guy
why can't you just get rid of the racist shareholder?
Rick Fox is eSports
? guy at it again..
God fucking dammit i feel sad for rick bruh damn hoping he can comeback men ?
Legends say he's still saying "I feel" until this day.
Those I feels…
Me after losing a rank game
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I feel feelings
I dont even play or like LoL, but Rick Fox defending the esports scene for years and now getting fucked is disgusting
We really like Rick Fox 🙁 Please don't make him leave.
I truly feel so much sadness for what's happened to Rick Fox… He doesn't deserve this no one does. He's been a breath of fresh air in the E-sports scene, I really hope he somehow gets back into the LCS one day </3
I feel sad for Rick Fox i hope that the tables should turn in his favor
If esports is such an amazing lucrative money making machine why are so many people trying to sell and so little interest from other money?
What game is he talking about lol
I feel very bad about this esports leagues having such huge buy in prices. It just makes it feel like it was soccer, which i stopped watching, because everything got more and more expensive, the rights to broadcast a game, the prices of the players, the price for a license, to be allowed to play in a league, just everything blew up in its prize and right now no player is worth the money that is payed for him, like 200+ million at some points. I have to admit, i don't watch lol and overwatch esports, which are the most prominent examples for those leagues, but when this system keeps on spreading in esports i am very worried about esports becoming traditional sports, which you can't play at a high level without having to sell yourself as a player to a huge company, which pays the licenses to play for your team and also the right to watch esports for free being taken away from you for some dumb season passes.
It’s a shame. I’m not a league of legends fan myself. Mostly into CS but even I know Rick was one of the good guys in an industry filled with crooks. Hopefully this all gets sorted out somehow and Rick can stay on. If not we welcome you anytime into the CS community Rick. Cheers!
Good riddance for Fox. The esports gaming industry is a joke.
Feel really bad for Rick. Hope everything works out
same dude
Am I the only one who doesn't understand why Echo should lose the spot simply because of some random racist?
Don't you even think you can do it like that.
This is exactly what happens in today's hate culture. Hate to see it
Thats the general problem in esports seems like.
Investors, agencies and/or firms realizing that most of the "clients" are young people who do not have any knowledge whatsoever in doing business and contracts.
So many people get fucked over, so many people just get straight up scammed or cheated because right now it is an easy market for experienced businessmen.
An easy buck with few repercussions.
My man rick busting out the thesaurus
