ACCORDING TO REPORTS in the US, reality TV star Kim Kardashian is part of an ownership group that will control a brand new LA-based football franchise.
For quite a while, rumours have circulated that Los Angeles is set to be announced as the next city to join the North American Soccer League – the second tier of domestic football in the United States.
