...Chiefs, and Anschutz, an oil and technology entrepreneur who owns too many things to count, have had a burning passion for the game that has consumed better than $100 million of their money. Hunt owns three and Anschutz four of MLS's 12 teams. The original idea was to unload all but one each as the franchise values increased. That was 10 years ago.
