N.Y. INVESTMENT FIRM INTERESTED IN MUTINY ALONG WITH UNITED

          N.Y.-based investment firm E.M. Warburg, Pincus and
     Co., which "is expected to pay" $25-30M to buy operating
     rights to the MLS United, "also is seeking to control" the
     Mutiny, which has been operated by the league since its
     inception in '96, according to sources cited by Steven Goff
     of the WASHINGTON POST.  If the deal goes through, the firm
     would become the fourth investor to oversee more than one
     MLS team.  With two teams, the firm "would bring much needed
     cash" to MLS and leave the Burn as the only team without a
     direct investor-operator (WASHINGTON POST, 6/28).
