First thing said...I promise you, I am not trolling. As some of you may have heard....Mexico's Club America are in negotiations with MLS to take over The San Jose Earthquakes. I have been a Quakes fan for the last four years, and DO NOT want to see this happen! I do not say this only on a personal level, but more on an MLS level as well. If MLs is willing to sell out the current champions (not gloating, only trying to get my point across), and (IMO), one of the strongest teams in the league for the past three seasons, then they are willing to do it with any team in the league, as long as they find an investor that has the right amount of cash. I will be the first to admit that the San Jose franchise has not always been successful or lucrative, but we were on our way to fixing things with the large help coming from our General Manager, Johnny Moore. We found out about the possible Club America happenings on the 11th, and as of last night at 5pm, Johnny Moore had resigned from his position as GM for "personal reasons". I assure you that Johnny Moore would NOT have done this, if something wasn't happening that we all don't know about yet. As I said before, if the league is willing to do this to us, they must be willing to do it with any team in the league. Don't get me wrong, I am not racist in any way, but this is the United States, and The U.S. has formed Major League Soccer. Unless we want MLS to turn into the MFL, we need to do something about it. I am all for diversity in the teams, but this is the MLS, and it needs to stay the MLS! For some background info on this whole ordeal you can go to: http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/sports/soccer/7684672.html There is another Quakes fan who is collecting e-mails as well: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=91046 Or, you can e-mail me at LindseyLooh333@hotmail.com Any e-mails I recieve will be printed and sent directly to the MLS Main office within the next week. You can see other articles (such as Johnny Moore's resignation) at: http://www.sjearthquakes.com I strongly urge you to help us Quakes fans in this fight. I realize you guys don't like our team, and that is fine (lol, we don't like your either), but our team is just the starting point. Next offseason, the article could pop up in your local newspaper. Thank You for all of your help- Lindsey
Your team is getting bought by Club Ameria. deal with it. If you think you can change it you are delusional. If you don't like it I suggest you do like your GM and jump ship.
