MLS announced Sunday that Dell Loy Hansen will sell Real Salt Lake as well as other Utah Soccer Holdings that include Utah Royals FC in the NWSL and the Real Monarchs in the USL.
The decision comes after Hansen responded negatively to players sitting out Wednesday's game in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Further, The Athletic published a report Thursday detailing allegations Hansen has made racist comments in the past.
The owner told Salt Lake City radio station X96 that the players' strike was "like somebody stabbed you and you’re trying to figure out a way to pull the knife out and move forward," via The Athletic.
