In what may be the fastest move in MLS ownership history, rumors have started surfacing that the league is in discussion to take over Real Salt Lake from Dell Loy Hansen, and, one would imagine, find a new owner for the club.
We are in unprecedented territory, which only arose after Dell Loy Hansen spoke publicly about feeling offended after RSL and LAFC players went on strike last night, along with many other teams in the league — which doesn’t start to mention that he said he was going to lay off people from Real Salt Lake, the RSL Foundation, and other parts of his organization in retaliation.
