Budzinski sued fellow owners Greg and Brad Likens, saying they excluded him from leadership decisions, causing him to suffer $3.75 million in damages. He also claimed damages for the team never paying a $1,667-a-month fee for practicing at the Kansas City Soccer Dome, which he owns. The Likens brothers filed a countersuit, arguing that Budzinski breached his contract by not performing marketing duties and hasn't lived up to an agreement to pay 50 percent of operating losses up to $50,000 a year.
