D.C. United owners making long-rumored transactions official Sunday.
News about D.C. United owners buying and selling teams was finally made official on Sunday. First up, Swansea City announced on their website that DCU Managing General Partner Jason Levien, as part of an ownership group that includes his former Memphis Grizzlies partner Steve Kaplan, would be purchasing 60% of the club in the club. The only hurdle that remains is ratification of the deal from the Premier League. The Swans' supporters trust will see their 21.1% share of the club unchanged, while members of the current board will be selling some or all of their shares, depending on the individual.
