Title: Sporting Kansas City
Post by: Felis Silvestris on November 22, 2010, 10:17:14 AM

Thoughts on the name change? (http://www.kansascity.com/2010/11/17/2446676_wizards-will-kick-off-with-a-new.html?storylink=omni_popular)  I'm a little confused why the MLS is pushing so hard to brand itself so similarly to European soccer clubs.  The "Wizards" at least had a little tie into Kansas history and the Wizard of Oz.

Wait. The name of the "club" (so gay) is called sporting?

The team’s new name is unique in America, but sporting clubs have been around for years in Europe, where soccer is king. And on the surface, Kansas City appears to be the latest MLS team to promote a “Europeanization” of its squad.
