VICE Sports profiles Sounders FC's Drew Carey, the "coolest owner in sports"

Drew Carey 10-28-2015

Sounders FC fans know what exactly kind of owner they have in Drew Carey.


Though he’s a die-hard fan of all sports teams from his native Cleveland, the 57-year-old entertainer has been a minority owner with the Sounders since the club’s MLS inception in 2009. He frequently attends Sounders games and greets the fans ahead of the March to the Match at Pioneer Square, and his love for MLS and American soccer has been well-documented throughout the years.


The latest evidence comes from the folks at VICE Sports, who followed Carey around ahead of the Sounders’ matchup against the Portland Timbers on August 30. Carey mingled with fans before the game and then presented U.S Women’s National Team stars Megan Rapinoe and Hope Solo with honorary golden scarves before settling in to watch the Sounders top their Cascadia rivals in front of more than 64,000 fans.


Check out the full video below, and cheer on the Sounders when they take on the LA Galaxy in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs at CenturyLink Field on Wednesday (7 p.m. PT; JoeTV/UniMas/ROOT Sports/KIRO 97.3/El Rey 1360).
