There was a time when the headline here would have been something that attracted — at the very least — reasoned debate. When Hansen was not a reviled figure at Real Salt Lake.
The curtain has well and truly been pulled back.
Allegations, reported yesterday but the subject of rumor and hearsay for years before anyone went on the record, emerged, reporting that Dell Loy Hansen has a history of racial abuse as owner of Real Salt Lake. Those are reports that have been corroborated elsewhere.
They are reports that many have been afraid to make publicly, owing to the fact that Hansen, a billionaire, controls their livelihood and ability to work in sports — people, some of whom who live in Dell Loy Hansen’s vast empire of apartment complexes in Utah.
