  • 1 BEFORE the UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE Hope Solo, Claimant Vs. United States Soccer Federation, Inc., Respondent COMPLAIN
    BEFORE THE UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE Hope Solo, Claimant vs. United States Soccer Federation, Inc., Respondent COMPLAINT UNDER SECTION 220527 OF THE TED STEVENS ACT I. INTRODUCTION 1. Pursuant to the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act1 (the “Stevens Act”), the United States Olympic Committee (“USOC”) has recognized the United States Soccer Federation (“USSF” or the “Federation”) as the National Governing Body (“NGB”) for the sport of soccer in the United States. This Complaint is being filed because the USSF has become blinded to its fundamental obligation as an NGB to “develop interest and participation throughout the United States and be responsible to the persons and amateur sports organizations it represents.”2 Instead, because of the power, prestige, status and money flowing from the Federation’s alliance with Major League Soccer, a professional men’s league (the “MLS”), and its affiliate, Soccer United Marketing, LLC (“SUM”), the USSF’s paramount concern has become protecting and nurturing the MLS, even if at the expense of other stakeholders, including those involved in professional women’s and amateur soccer. 1 36 U.S.C. § 220501 et seq. 2 Id. § 220524(1). 1 2. Because of its institutional bias in favor of MLS and commercial partnership with SUM, the Federation now appears to believe that its effectiveness should be judged not by how well amateur, youth, women’s and non-MLS men’s professional soccer are doing, but how well MLS is performing and how much money the Federation’s partnership with SUM is generating. Some Federation officials believe they are doing a good job because the entry fee MLS charges new teams keeps increasing even though not a penny of that money goes to the Federation or its non-MLS stakeholders.

  • Commercial Facilities Sector-Specific Plan 2010
    Commercial Facilities Sector-Specific Plan An Annex to the National Infrastructure Protection Plan 2010 Preface The Commercial Facilities (CF) Sector is widely diverse in both scope and function. A dominant influence on the Nation’s economy, this sector includes retail centers, hotels, casinos, theme parks, motion picture production studios, office and apart- ment buildings, convention centers, sports stadiums, and other sites where large numbers of people congregate to pursue business activities, conduct personal commercial transactions, and enjoy recreational pastimes and accommodations. The sector is composed primarily of privately owned facilities that operate on the principle of open public access, meaning the public may move freely throughout these facilities without the deterrent of highly visible security barriers. Each owner and operator has distinct assets, operational processes, business environments, and risk management approaches that vary across all business lines because of the considerable diversity in their objectives. These characteristics require an integrated and comprehensive approach to protecting critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR) in the sector. The CF Sector-Specific Plan (SSP) complements the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) by developing efforts to improve the protection of the CF Sector in an all-hazards environment. This SSP describes the processes used to identify, assess, and protect CIKR; and the plans to implement these processes and measure effectiveness. The SSP also helps define the partnership between the Commercial Facilities Sector-Specific Agency (CF SSA), other SSAs, and those additional partners protecting the sector through implementation of risk mitigation activities. This 2010 release of the CF SSP reflects the maturation of the CF Sector partnership and the progress of the sector programs first outlined in the 2007 SSP.

Providence originally made the investment in January 2012. Financial terms were not disclosed. “It has been an honor supporting MLS and SUM’s remarkable growth over the past five years,” said Jonathan Nelson, Founder and CEO of Providence. “By combining the most popular sport in the world with the largest media market in the world, we knew MLS had a unique opportunity. Don, his team, and the ownership group have exceeded all expectations in driving the league’s growth in teams, attendance, viewership, and sponsors – all while investing in the quality of the game and the experience for fans. With its solid financial footing and growth trajectory continuing, we expect MLS and SUM to keep on exceeding expectations, and we wish them great success.” “Major League Soccer has seen tremendous growth since 2012,” said MLS Commissioner Don Garber. “We would like to thank Jonathan and his team at Providence for their support and contributions over the last five years. We are a healthier and stronger business because of their investment.” Providence has been the only outside investor in SUM. In addition to providing capital, Providence has served on SUM’s Board of Governors, contributing to strategic decision making. During this time, MLS has seen increases in attendance, viewership, sponsor revenue and significantly grown its fan base.
