Who is the LAFC fan on the list?
Magic Johnson is a retired NBA player, and his tie to LAFC is ownership rather than a stated fandom. He has been a part-owner of the club since 2014. MLSsoccer.com announced the ownership group on October 30, 2014, describing it as a "Prominent Ownership Group led by Entrepreneur Henry Nguyen and Sports and Entertainment Industrialist Peter Guber; also Includes Earvin Johnson, Mia Hamm Garciaparra, Tony Robbins, among others." The announcement is a record of his stake, not a statement from him about rooting for the team.
Does his background line up with Los Angeles?
Johnson was born in Lansing, Michigan, on August 14, 1959, and went to Everett High School there. His professional playing career included the Los Angeles Lakers, which puts him in the same city as LAFC, though his stake in the club is the only tie shown here.
