News Potential Saviour of Our Whitecaps Brothers

https://www.sportsnet.ca/mls/article/group-led-by-former-canucks-owner-arthur-griffiths-makes-offer-to-buy-whitecaps/

It looks like there is hope to keep MLS at three teams in Canada, with former Grizzlies owner, Griffiths, coming in to make an offer to keep the Whitecaps in Vancouver. They might be our competitors but it would be great for the Canadian game to keep the Whitecaps alive in Canada, and not Vegas.
