Crew SC investor-operator Anthony Precourt is one of five Major League Soccer owners on the league’s expansion committee, which is interesting given that Cincinnati has been pushing hard for a team.
Atlanta United and Minnesota United will join the league next year, and Los Angeles FC will enter in 2018, possibly with a Miami team owned by David Beckham. But not everyone is convinced the Miami bid will come to fruition, which would leave the door open a crack for an early shot by Cincinnati, or one of the two cities — Sacramento and St. Louis — believed to be the front-runners for the next two-team expansion shortly after that.
