A name that may upset some: Julie Foudy.
Also: Sunil Gulati (most influential in ruining the Revs?)
What about other soccer promoters? Budweiser. Pepsi.

Unless I'm mistaken, Foudy holds a LOT of weight....both with the USSF and the WUSA. She was/is spokesperson, on the board of directors (or something like that), is team captain :), and does a lot of work for soccer in general.
