From their corporate website...here's the slate of owners for Los Angeles FC:
Henry Nguyen: Owner and Executive Chairman
Tom Penn: Owner and President
Peter Guber: Owner and Managing Partner
Allan Shapiro: Owner
Anthony Robbins: Owner
Bennett Rosenthal: Owner
Brandon Schneider: Owner
Chad Hurley: Owner
Harry Tsao: Owner
Irwin Raij: Owner
Jason Sugarman: Owner
Kirk Lacob: Owner
Larry Berg: Owner
Magic Johnson: Owner
Mia Hamm Garciaparra: Owner
Mike Mahan: Owner
Mark Leschly: Owner
Nomar Garciaparra: Owner
Paul Schaeffer: Owner
Rick Welts: Owner
Ruben Gnanalingam: Owner
Vincent Tan: Owner
If you're keeping track, that's 22 (22!) owners.
It's going to take me some time to go through the entire list, but there's considerable sports experience among the group. Magic Johnson, who co-owns the Dodgers with Guber, is of course an LA legend from his time with the Lakers. Rick Welts is a former executive with the Phoenix Suns.
Then there's the soccer-baseball tandem of Mia Hamm, one of the very best women's soccer players in history, and her husband, former MLB star and LA native Nomar Garciaparra.
Vincent Tan, rumored to be part of the group, is conspicuously listed last. The Cardiff City owner has soccer experience, but it seems he's not one of the major shakers in this vast ownership group.
More news as it comes down!
