Soccer
An indoor soccer league with teams in at least 10 major cities, including Los Angeles, is planned for next summer. Ron Weinstein, who was vice president of the old Los Angeles Lazers of the Major Indoor Soccer League, said that several NBA owners will be affiliated with the new Continental Indoor Soccer League. Weinstein will serve as commissioner of the new league.
Among those owners are Jerry Buss of the Lakers, Jerry Colangelo of the Phoenix Suns and Jim Thomas, one of the owners of the Sacramento Kings, Weinstein said. He said a team owned by Buss will play at the Forum, a team owned by Colangelo will play in the new arena in Phoenix, and a team owned by Thomas will play at the Arco Arena in Sacramento.
Weinstein said other areas that have committed to teams are Miami, Memphis, New York-New Jersey, Houston, Denver, Portland, Ore., and Las Vegas.
