Listen to this reportComedian Drew Carey isn't joking when he tells soccer fans Seattle's new major league team belongs to them. The team owner and star of "The Price is Right" joined fans at Kells Irish Pub Friday.
Minority owner Drew Carey says Sounders FC will adapt an ownership model used in Europe where fans have a say in how the team is run.
"We're going to be the only professional sports franchise in the country where if you don't like the way the general managers run the team, you can just fire them. And then we'll hire another one, and if you don't like them, we'll get another one. One day we'll come to an understanding," said Carey.
He says the soccer team will also organize a membership council where fans will discuss everything from the player acquisition to the price of hot dogs.
