Didn't realize we were interested in 2 Quinteros...

 

Now FIVE Quinteros would make REAL sense!

 

Not getting that one at any rate...

 

"in response to our terrible performance for as long as anybody can remember, missing the playoffs for the past four years, scoring the fewest goals in the whole, entire league last year, this year we have decided to start the season with no designated players at all, not a single one. However, we are looking at bringing in a guy nobody's ever heard of who's averaging less the one goal a season for each of his recent clubs...but don't worry we expect to wow you in the summer with some really, really big signings sure to bring a smile to your face.

thanks ever so much for your continued loyal support and ongoing patronage, we look forward to seeing you in your seats as we prepare for what's sure to be a brilliant, don't-want-to-miss-it 2017 campaign!

San Jose Earthquakes"

 

You forgot the part about the president with the conflict of interest.

 

Seems to be a growing trend...

 

ironic seeing Pelosi standing between two doctors......any word on him recently?....been awfully quiet in regards to him returning to action

 

I wouldn't say ironic. I would say "apropos" :-(.

 

Some European help on the way.

Also:

The San Jose Earthquakes have agreed in principle on a deal to bring FC Lucerne and Albania midfielder Jahmir Hyka to the club, a Major League Soccer source has told ESPN FC.

Just curious, did Florian wear his lader-Hoesen at the presser?

 

No, but, Hoesen vowed to demonstrate his Jung Wirth to the club and fans.

 

Our venerable local newspaper has published an article about the Hoesen - Jungwirth signings with an upside down photo. Brilliant!

 

It's not our local newspaper -- hasn't been since it dropped the "San Jose" from the name. It is now nobody's local newspaper...

 

No it's the local paper for anyone living on Mercury .

 

I'm confused. I thought the Quakes did a photo-shoot for the first X-number of fans (a hundred as I recall?) who signed up, and presumably signed waivers agreeing to allow their images to be used in promotional ads. Also, it's not clear from the team link you provide that the billboards shown represent the totality of the advertising campaign we will see. So, couple questions: (1) did you sign up for the photo-shoot?; (2) do you know for certain their were no adult women who did?

Finally, I highly doubt there was any intention to snub any fan demographic, because I was told prior to the campaign getting underway that it was designed to reflect the diversity of the fan base, which the FO appreciates as one of the Club's assets.

 

Click on the photo gallery at the bottom of that page.

 

Yes, apparently there were adult women photographed, as I suspected. That should answer my second question addressed to TS. But it may not assuage her concern regarding why the billboards don't depict adult women.
