Sporting KC Is Being Sold For Roughly $700 Million, An MLS Record

I gotta say, this is a crazy time for MLS ! I've been following Sporting KC since they joined the league back in 2009 and it's amazing to see how far they've come. The fact that they're selling for $700 million is insane - that's a lot of cash! As someone who's always been passionate about soccer, it's awesome to see the league growing in popularity and stability.

I'm excited to see what the new owner Peter Mallouk brings to the table . I've heard he's got a wealth advisory firm, so maybe he can bring some financial savvy to the team? And with LAFC leading the way on valuations, it's clear that MLS is becoming a force to be reckoned with.

I'm also stoked about the changes the league is making - aligning their calendar with other professional leagues and folding their Season Pass broadcast package into Apple TV . It's all about accessibility and making soccer more mainstream, right?

I'm low-key excited about this sale... $700 million is wild ! It just goes to show how far MLS has come since I was a kid watching some decent games on Univision . The fact that Sporting KC is getting sold off for such a huge price tag makes me wonder what other teams are gonna be up for grabs in the future . And with LAFC leading the way in terms of valuation, it's clear that MLS is becoming a serious player in the soccer world . I'm curious to see how Peter Mallouk plans on shaking things up at Sporting KC... will we see any major changes or just more of the same old thing?

omg what a big deal ! $700m is insane for an MLS team! i feel like sportsKC is gonna be even more lit with new ownership . it's crazy to think that they're selling off 71% of their shares lol. peter mallouk sounds like a pretty smart cookie . i'm excited to see how this sale affects the rest of the league, maybe we'll see some more teams get sold and valued higher? anyway, can't wait for the new season in Feb

I'm thinking... $700 million is a crazy amount for an MLS team! I mean, it's still not like they're playing in the Premier League or anything . But seriously, this sale shows how much Sporting KC has grown and its value to the league. It's cool that Peter Mallouk is taking over, he seems like a smart guy .

I'm also excited for the changes coming to MLS. A new competition calendar sounds like it'll be interesting to watch . And yeah, it's awesome that they're restructuring their media rights deal with Apple... that makes sense .

Sporting KC has been through some tough times, but this sale is a great sign of things to come . They've got a loyal fan base and are making smart moves to increase revenue . I'm curious to see how they'll do in the coming season .
