    I don't.

    And neither does Sehgal.

    If, indeed, the NASL owners are now all on the same page, it would seem less likely they would entertain such a notion, rich guy or not.

    This is like that meme that said, "If Warren Buffet wrote a check for a team in Omaha, MLS would have a team in Omaha." Well, no. Unless Omaha added value to the league, there wouldn't be an MLS team in Omaha, even if a rich guy wanted it.

    We'll see what happens if NASL Chicago actually ever gets off the ground and gets a place to play. But in general, it's silly to say, "Oh, large market, underachieving MLS team, sure, we can compete there with our rinky-dink budgets and baseball stadiums." Regardless of the distance between Fort Worth and Frisco.

    When I see disaster nicknames like "Tornados", "Earthquakes", "Hurricanes" as well as racially tinged names like "Redskins", "Braves", "Aztecs", "Indians", it makes me appreciate nicknames like "United", "City", "FC".

    I was once in a discussion with an English fan who took note of the strangeness the team names "Chicago Fire" and "San Jose Earthquakes", and who proposed that the next one in that series might be the "London Plague".

    why not bringing the Scorpions back to life and relocating them in DFW? Dallas Scorpions with a black scorpions and the star would be a great name and logo, plus they could do the ad with scorpions stinging and killing Dallas FC Buffalo

    I'd prefer Rayo Dallas personally, but they should go by Rayo Tejas
