Rest In Peace Lamar Hunt

Lamar Hunt has passed away. He founded the Dallas Tornadoes in the old NASL. He also was an original investor in the AFL, starting the Dallas Texans and eventually moving them to Kansas City where they became the Chiefs. More recently he was a founding investor for Major League Soccer (MLS) with teams in Columbus, Kansas City and Dallas. He recently sold the Kansas City Wizards to a group of KC investors. Columbus was the first MLS team with a soccer specific stadium. May the perpetual light shine upon him.
