I think that's a big oversight on your part, especially considering that he's probably the best point-of-comparison for what the Galaxy are trying to accomplish here.<br /><br />I don't disagree with a lot of what you're saying, but I think that perpetually referencing back to the North American Soccer League is incredibly faulty. Why? Because while basketball may be the fastest growing sport worldwide (because everyone already plays soccer/football), soccer is the fatest growing sport in North America; not spectator-wise, necessarily, but in terms of what kids are playing as they grow up. It's THAT enthusiasm that the Galaxy and the league are trying to tap into.<br /><br />Will it work? I don't know, but I wouldn't dismiss the chances for success of this venture so easily (although I agree that it will take a lot more than just one player).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
