First Name on Jersey

Yeah, but was Damian Alavarez an American?

 

I thought MLS wasn't going to allow its players to do that any more?

 

I honestly have no idea why this would upset you so much and I would suggest that you might need to see a professional therapist.

 

Dude, lay off the homophobic comments. Choose better insults to call him like your last name or something. If you didn't like what I just said then now you know how people feel when you use the "F" word to describe homosexuals. I can't believe i am going to type this, but maybe parrothead is right. go see a therapist.

I must admit I am not a fan of the first name. I guess people just want to be brazilian deep down. Seriouxly though, if a player like Cobi wants to do it, let em. He has earned it. He is a USA soccer Hall of Famer. I think he should get special priviledges.
We have to admit and unfortunately accept that sports traditions are changing. Look at that idiot Chad Cordero or Dontrelle Willis and how they wear their hats. Cmon man, real baseball players shape their hats. It has been done for 100's of years. it just shows you how impressionable some of these idiots are and how they can be swayed to go against tradition and follow some of those idiot rappers.

 

I'm always right.

 

did i offend you with my last post? boomersooner will not let me make any comments without begging for me to get a red card.

I think my last post was just fine. you?

 

uh... are you talking to me? you haven't offended me, no.

 

yeah, i was talking to you. thank you for answering. i better get out of here before boomersooner writes the president and asked to have me put in jail.

i would have loved to stay and talk about this name thing. we have the same problem with Yao Ming in basketbal. But, you guys have a headhunter in boomersooner. he wants dallas talkers only.

parrothead, i appreciate your professionalism.

 

eh, it's a livin'.

 

Parrothead, you have a great mother's day. Please go tell her (whomever that may be for you) that you appreciate her. A teacher that I work with is laying in a hospital bed on life support right now because of a slow leaking brain anueryism that they just discovered the other day. They are goign to have to take her baby (she is full term) from her soon and then they can work on the brain. You just don't know what might happen. This is what bugs me on this forum that people take it so personal and make a big deal out of something that is meaningless in the big picture.

 

There is no one who plays for FCD with the name 'Fish' on his jersey.

 

That was a joke chaz.

I do believe you are right. Maybe Thiago (fire), but who knows if that is his first or last name. That is all i can think of irght now.

 

Not anymore, he doesn't.

Case in point: this year he's required to have "Hernandez" on his back. "Nico" is no longer allowed. (See player next to Vanney below....#20.)

I believe I read that someone got an exemption...was it Fred?....but I don't think it's allowed, as a general rule, in MLS.

 

so why did this thread get started, who was it that had one name on their jersey?

 

Cobi does.

anyway, I don't care, they should let Nico put what he wants on his jersey.

 

The most dumb@ss thing I have seen is the RedBulls names. Did any of you see "Kovalenko" with the initial letter "K" and last letter "O" having to go on the back sleeves? Did that not look stupid?

Much better to just go with Dema.

Who cares. We need a little more flash and personalization in this league. If Goodson got a gold tooth and a flashy diamond in his ear and did something cornballish like putting "Badson" on his jersey it would be good for the league.

Cobi is not your every day Jones. Cobi is Cobi. Good enough for me.

 

I would totally buy a Badson jersey, and I almost never buy name jerseys.

 

that was my confusion then, I assumed this was about the FCD game this weekend and was curious about who had done it. my bad. carry on.
