    Lamar Hunt passed away tonight.
    He helped found the AFL and MLS, and was the man who coined the term 'Superbowl'.
    He owned the NFL team the Kansas City Chiefs, and MLS teams the Columbus Crew and FC Dallas (formerly the Dallas Burn).
    He sold the Kansas City Wizards this year.
    The U.S. Open Cup soccer tournament was renamed in his honor.

    Mr. Hunt battled prostate cancer for several years, and had a lung collapse around Thanksgiving.
    All fans of football, both kinds, will miss him.
