They’re pretty sure you’re going to forget about all that and that your progeny won’t mind too much when the legalese “takesy-backsies” come into effect. No doubt when that finally occurs the team WON’T be investing in top talent, so fans will go more quietly when the repayment plans are finally nullified. They’ll…

That’s funny you know, because I was Googling “soccer” for the first time yesterday (apparently they call it football down there), and I read an article that seemed to indicate that the Mexican League (Liga MX) is actually much older, much more central to the sporting culture, and generally more respected than MLS,…

I am 100% against using public money for stadiums. But this comment would make a LOT more sense if MLS hadn’t been pulling public money for stadiums since like 2005.

I hope this goes somewhere, although Neil DeMause at FieldofSchemes.com seems to think it might not. (There is nothing in the law about enforcement.) At any rate, anything that makes it harder for this piece of shit, and his short-sighted enablers in MLS top brass, to get away with thumbing their collective noses at…

Don’t have a stroke on a day you have court.

Nice to see this side I love, of the city I love, getting some love on The Root. I can’t imagine living anywhere else, and now I have some new places to geta round to. (It’s a large south side.) Ha ha Eric Williams owes me some money from way back when in Wicker Park days, but that was a long time ago and it sure…

A good match. I hate Toronto FC but they were clearly the better team.

. . . “when it comes to the covering USMNT”-??

Wait wait. Not a single reference to how much we hate our stupid domestic league which sucks and is lame?!?! Is this Deadspin dot ORG or dot NET or something?

I think Columbus’s (likely) move looks terrible for MLS, as if to say: “Yes we are just as greedy and short-sighted as all the rest.” Yes the black’n’yellow have had some attendance issues, but so have many teams, ahem, especially the older ones. The Crew are an Original 10 franchise, they have won the Cup, and…

I am an MLS-head and this headline is right on. Disappointing. Frustrating beyond belief, and I support the FIRE - the Crew’s rival.

Co-signed, the South Side, forever.

I gotta be real. I think Columbus’s (likely) move looks terrible for MLS, as if to say: “Yes we are just as greedy and short-sighted as all the rest.” Yes the black’n’yellow have had some attendance issues, but so have many teams, ahem, especially the older ones.

Barely a word in all this about our weak, WEAK development programs. We are still way behind the rest of the word in that department.

Use Lower Wacker if you are trying to drive ACROSS downtown - NE to SW, or vice versa. If you are going TO downtown, it’s less recommended.

I honestly don’t know what just happened here.

Nailed it!

Ha ha, way to never mention the final score.

“Of course, one should not question the economic calculations each of these players made, which led them to take what had to be significant raises from what they were making in the notoriously poorly-paying Spanish league; careers in sports are short, and by all means, make as much money as you can, when you can.”

Enghgh, this is true if your burgers are over a particularly hot fire, but if the fire is low-to-middling or your burgers are over a cooler part. I just YESTERDAY. had a cheeseburger on which the cheese (and I always take double) wasn’t melted AT ALL. Uh, no thanks. Your advice is solid in many situations but the…
