Sports shorts A busy Sunday coming to L.A. Soccer

Call it a sports eclipse. All five major U.S. sports leagues will play in Los Angeles on Sunday. According to Elias Sports Bureau, it’s the first time that’s happened in the same metropolitan area on the same day.

The NFL, MLB, MLS, NHL and NBA will all be in action within miles of each other.

The Los Angeles Kings start the sports feast at 12:30 p.m. local time when they play the New York Rangers at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. A few miles away, the Green Bay Packers kick off against the Los Angeles Rams at the Los Angeles Coliseum a half hour later.

The Houston Dynamo visit the Los Angeles Galaxy at StubHub Center in Carson, south of downtown at 1:30 p.m. Game 5 of the World Series between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers begins shortly after 5 p.m.

In the nightcap, the Clippers host the Washington Wizards at Staples Center.

Not to be left out, the Anaheim Ducks host the San Jose Sharks in Orange County about the same time the World Series begins.

A helicopter belonging to Leicester City’s owner crashed in flames in a carpark next to the soccer club’s stadium shortly after it took off from the field following a Premier League game on Saturday.

The central England team said it was assisting authorities with “a major incident” at the stadium but there were no details about who was on board or their condition.

The Air Accident Investigation Branch is working alongside the emergency services and the club to “establish the exact circumstances of the collision,” Leicestershire Police said in a statement.

Billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who owns Thai duty-free retail giant King Power, bought Leicester in 2010 and provided the funds that helped the team improbably win the Premier League at odds of 5,000-1 in 2016.

Leicester has not said if its owner was on the helicopter. In a scene regularly seen after matches, Vichai’s aircraft arrived in the King Power Stadium after Saturday’s 1-1 draw against West Ham.
