Are You Kidding Me?

As if soccer in this country could have been any more of a joke, the MLS team formally known as the Metrostars just changed its name to Red Bull New York.

The team was purchased by the energy drink company Thursday for almost $100 million.

If the MLS wants to be a big time league in the USA, they have to stop letting teams rename themselves. The team in Houston has altered its name a few times despite having never played an actual game.

What good comes from naming your team after a drink that college kids either use to stay up late or mix with vodka? I just can’t take a team named after a soft drink very serious.

Then again, I can’t take the MLS very serious.
