Central Florida sports fans will always owe Orlando City owner Flávio Augusto da Silva a massive debt of gratitude for stepping up when a minor-league franchise needed a sugar daddy to fund the leap to Major League Soccer.
Thank you so much, Flávio, for buying Orlando City and giving us another big-time professional sports franchise to root for in Central Florida.
And thank you, too, for selling Orlando City and giving us an even bigger-time sports franchise to root for in Central Florida.
Although Augusto da Silva’s sale of the club is not yet final, it is said be imminent.
