Sporting Kansas City
« on: November 22, 2010, 10:17:14 AM »
Thoughts on the name change?  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?
