    Hat-tip to the C38 podcast for this one, but it looks like the Rapids have reconfigured their leadership in light of Hinchey leaving. Looking at the Rapids Front Office page on their website we now have Stan and Josh, and then Jim Martin listed as Governor of the Rapids along-side his title of President and CEO of KSE. Then Matt Hutchings is listed as COO and Alternate Governor.

    Below that there are a number of Senior VPs but I don't think those have changed.

    WTH is a Governor of the Rapids? Is that normal in soccer clubs? Does a President of the Rapids report to a Governor?

    The Voice of the C38 podcast could not find another example of a Governor in MLS.

    I suspect it is a KSE thing. Josh is Governor of the Nuggets and the Avalanche, I believe (as well as President of both).

    So what does this mean for the day-to-day operations of the Rapids? And more specifically with signings, trades, etc?

    Probably no change.. Padraig Smith was responsible for all that anyway.

    In automotive terms a governor keeps things from going fast, in our case it may also keep the fast parts from having any kind of accuracy when shooting?

    I bet you become governor by barging about how cheap you are.
