Don Garber began his 20th season as MLS commissioner with a whirlwind weekend tour of the country and the league, starting in Los Angeles for meetings with former Galaxy star David Beckham and L.A. executives, continuing in Seattle for Cincinnati’s inaugural game against the Sounders and ending in the cold and rain of Washington for D.C. United and Atlanta United.
Before the match at Audi Field, Garber fielded a few questions from reporters.
>> The first topic was the Galaxy’s decision to buy out Mexican attacker Giovani dos Santos’s contract, a deadline-beating move last week to meet the league guidelines of employing no more than three designated players.
