    I am still trying to get past the part where you think Harry Redknapp was paid megabucks to play in the NASL. Pele, yes. 'arry, no.

    No we chose not to participate in an inferior and non-professional league and we chose not to participate in the first two seasons of MLS because of the name Nike wanted to slap on the team.

    How's the latest resurrection of the Rowdies working out?

    And the fact that each team operator also "owns" a part of MLS complicates the issue.

    Or do I have that wrong, too? Aren't they all investors as well as operators?

    If my zipper wasn't already stuck, I would have shut her up already.

    Yes, and there are investors who are not operators (Like Ken Horowitz believe it or not)

    Uh, yeah you did... Chicago Stingers ring a bell, or are you just like what you accuse 30000 Seattle fans of?

    Not really since I've never lived in Chicago.

    Maybe you could go and start a poll on the Fire board to determine, how many, if any of the current Fire fans were fans of the Stingers, whatever that was.

    Now, you'll get plenty of former Sting fans, and the Fire has had a couple of celebratory throwback nights for the Sting, but nobody paid dick amount of attention to the Stingers and that sham of a league. ;)

    It started in 1998. There has been no effort to tie that club to any past club

    The OP is trying to write something that makes sense about MLS and all you have to offer is your childlike "hatred" of the Sounders and their fans?

    Grow up.
