Who is REP Revolt? He’s a whiskey drinking, sports gaming loving husband and father. Basically he’s just like you and I. His favorite sports are Basketball, Football, Soccer and Baseball but not necessarily in that order. His life’s wish is to purchase season tickets for his beloved Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks and FC Dallas but as of yet, he’s only been able to afford an occasional game ticket for FC Dallas. You could imagine his excitement when he won tickets to the Portland Timber vs FC Dallas Conference Finals match on November 12th. As he was leaving for the match, his son who roots against anyone that REP cheers for said to him, “Dad if they win, you should by a lottery ticket because it would clearly be your lucky day.” Well FC Dallas won the game in 3-2 to make it to the championship. After the match, REP remembered his son’s words and laughed to himself. He then headed to the local convenience store and purchased a ticket.
REP Revolt’s life forever changed on the evening of Wednesday, November 15th when he went to scan his lottery ticket to discover not only did he have a winning ticket but the ONLY ticket. Overnight REP became a multi-billionaire winning the jackpot of $3.19 billion, they largest jackpot ever. As REP had been part of the lower economic class, he had always thought what he would do if he every came into money. It was never lost on him, how much money was made owning professional sports teams.
REP began thinking how much he enjoyed being at the FC Dallas game just 3 days prior and how if it weren’t for that game and his son that he wouldn’t never purchased the ticket. He immediately realized that it had to have been a sign from the universe. Five days later REP made an offer to purchase FC Dallas for $600 million cash. It was an offer that management couldn’t turn down as he would soon realize that club was in a financial freefall. Guess that’s what happens when you you become a billionaire over night. His first act as owner was to appoint his 1st Born Son as the Club Manager.
5 days later as the owner of FC Dallas, he would be watching his club compete for MLS Championship against CF Montreal.
