Ethics, hypocrisy and money: Real Salt Lake dispute a perfect example of the media’s slippery slope 18 Jul 2016 Now, wait a second here. It is a conflict for someone to cover an MLS team but also be involved in the NBA? If that’s the case — and if MLS approves this message — by that logic, should it not also be a conflict for an MLS owner to also have a stake or fully own an NBA team? Since Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment owns the Raptors, TFC, the Maple Leafs and the Marlies, don’t they in some way aid and abet the competitors in RSL’s coveted marketplace? Following Carroll’s logic, should MLSE be allowed to own an NBA team and an MLS team?

Lenhart named MLS Player of the Week; The 11 gives its nod to Carlyle Mitchell 23 Sep 2013 Camilo may have scored twice in Vancouver's 3-0 win over Montreal, but his markers came late. For most of the 90 minutes, it was a tense 1-0 affair. And who did more to help preserve that 1-0 lead than anyone else on the pitch? Defender Carlyle Mitchell.
Martins named MLS Player of the Week for helping propel Sounders into first 16 Sep 2013 He scored the opener in the third minute and then got the second assist on Lamar Neagle’s insurance goal. The win allowed Seattle to seize top spot in the MLS Western Conference, and first-place overall in the league. If MLS regular-season play ended today, Seattle would now be guaranteed home field advantage all the way to the Dec. 7 MLS Cup, if the Sounders make it that far.
