LAFC has signed a massive deal for stadium naming rights with Banc Of California worth $100M. That is staggering. By Eben Novy-Williams of Bloomberg
- So why do I immediately think of this from Colorado just 2 years ago: "Rapids partner with Ciao Telecom for historic jersey partnership," which turned into missed payments and a dropping of the sponsorship only 9 months later... I am not saying this is that kinda deal for LAFC, but when things look too good I get a funny feeling. I hope I am wrong.
- Insider news on the deal - the bank and team are tied together at the hip in many ways including: The chief executive of Banc of California is the son in law of LAFC's executive chairman. From the LA Times.
dN
Orange County Blues player Richard Chaplow has been named as the person who harassed LA Galaxy player Robbie Rogers with homophobic slurs during their game last weekend with LAGII last weekend, and he has been suspended for 2 games by the USL.
- MLS players have been given a 3 game suspension in the past for similar offenses.
- But none of the MLS players who used the slur ever used it directly at a player because they were gay. It was always used as a general taunt.
- This punishment is light and bullshit. If I ran the club he would have already been cut before the announcement was made public.
- Chaplow is a 31 year old English player from Accrington who has a private Twitter account, with over 26,000 followers.
dN
American fullback DeAndre Yedlin has been sold by Tottenham to Newcastle for nearly $7M. Nice.
- Tottenham doubled the amount of money they paid Seattle for Yedlin 2 years ago.
dN
American Fabian Johnson and Monchengladbach rolled to a 6-1 win in a UEFA Champions League Qualifying 2nd Leg match today at home v Young Boys. Aggregate score ended 9-2.
- Johnson went the full 90 as the team prepares to open the Bundesliga season on Saturday v Leverkusen.
- Thorgan Hazard and Raffael each got a hat trick today for Gladbach.
- The draw for the Champions League group stage will be held on Thursday.

CONCACAF Champions League group stage Matchday 3 schedule:
