Re: [nas] Chivas USA to Chicago?

I wish they would just end this charade. Why put another team in any market 
when there are already plenty of places capable of supporting teams without 
one? I know investors are needed in various markets first, but this thing 
really rubs me the wrong way. To me, this whole thing is nonsense. To put a 
second team in either of two well supported markets is infuriating. How does 
this help with a TV deal, expanding the national footprint, or gaining A simple 
solution to the investor problem, aside from taking Vagara's pole with a smile, 
would be to figure out what it takes to get an investor in Seattle, Houston, 
Philly, and even Rochester and make it work and tell Vagara to piss off. After 
the Horowitz debacle and seeing other investors drop out over the years, it 
doesn't surprise me that it's so hard to get something done in other possible 
expansion cities. This is the kind of thing that makes me lose my patience with 
MLS. Does MLS want to be a top flight league or does it want to be a feeder 
league for Mexico? Is the league so desper
ate for investment in it's bizarro world business model that it will sell its 
soul to any investment? Between this and the Club America rumors that won't 
die, I'm losing faith in the league's long term future.
