Re: [nas] Adu to start?

  I find it inconceivable that the league has not made it clear that
they want Freddy played.  I find it totally without coincidence that
DC United (the team I support BTW) are being nationally televised at every
turn
and no suggestion whatsoever has been made to play Freddy in the television
brass.....in whom has a considerable investment in televising soccer.

I find it naive to think that the word has not gone down to play Freddy
when there are higher than average attendance for DC's matches because
there are likely folks showing up JUST to see the kid.

Perhaps...Peter would play him for full halves anyway, but if he was not
given some pretty strong "suggestions" by the league and TV.....
this would be the "STOOOPIDEST" league in the history of sport.

 You seem to think I see this as negative. I do not necessarily.
We have a commodity now in Freddy that has generated interest
all over the world and we'd be dumb not to take advantage of it.
