Teams are subsidiaries
editI just added all MLS teams as has subsidiary (P355) claims to this item, and I suspect this may raise eyebrows so I figured I'd explain. Normally, we would not consider teams to be a subsidiary of their league. However, MLS operates under a single-entity structure wherein the league literally owns all of the teams. Major League Soccer LLC is the parent company of all the teams' companies. More about this at en:Major League Soccer#Ownership (or just google "MLS single entity structure"). So it is indeed accurate to describe all of the teams as subsidiaries, even though that would not be the case in most leagues. –IagoQnsi (talk) 17:55, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
