Comparison failure.

That was from the US Open Cup Final they won this year. Seperate tournament...64 teams from all levels of the US Soceer pyramid...single elimination like the NCAA's.

It was a big win for a few reasons. Their first cup since 2004 a wild dramatic game the likes of which I may never see again and they beat Seattle who are notorious arrogant assholes. They are like the Yankees without the actual championships. It was also cool beating Seattle because up until then they pretty much had our number. They would always find some way to beat us in the very last second it was infuriating.

These videos they did leading up to the game were really ****ing cool. Playing up some of those facts. The 3rd one is the best.

Nascar gets hate because it is not a sport, even though they try and force that concept down your throat. If it were f1, baja or even all road races at least it would be a tad more exiting. You have 3 types of fans, the rednecks who go and think it is a sport. The people that people watch the rednecks and then the people at home. Funny enough, all of those people have one thing in common. They wanted a reason to get drunk. Only the wnba is on par with how boring nascar is.

Well it becomes prevalent enough in some of the games, particularly the World Cup games, that you can associate it with the game as a whole for that tournament.
The problem, for me (and I'm admittedly not a hard core soccer fan), is that the quality of play in the World Cup matches seems much better than the MLS games I've seen. So, even with the flopping, those games are still more appealing than any MLS match I've seen.
I live like 7 minutes from the FC Dallas stadium but I don't have much urge to see them. I'm not anti-MLS; I don't have any dislike for it. It just doesn't move the needle for me. Once in a while I try and watch one of their matches, but I lose interest pretty quickly.
I can sympathize with soccer fans, though. I love the NHL and plenty of people hate that and think it sucks.

Too bad nobody gives a shit.

Actually, it's not. Pro soccer has been in KC in some form since longer than the last time the Chiefs won a Superbowl. 1968 to be exact. So while it's not 100 years old it's not an infant either.

Sporting Kansas City 1990-Present
In 1996 the Kansas City Wiz of Major League Soccer were formed. In 1997 they were renamed the Wizards. The Wizards became the 2000 MLS Champions. In 2006 the team was purchased by a local group named OnGoal LLC. The team was officially rebranded Sporting Kansas City in 2010. In 2011 they opened the state-of-the-art LIVESTRONG Sporting Park, giving the team their first true home for players and fans alike.

Kansas City Comets 2001-2005
The Kansas City Comets are part of the newly formed Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). The Comets are under the ownership of Kansas City Sports Enterprises and make their home in Kemper Arena. They were known as the Kansas City Attack for 10 years and became the Comets when the NPSL League disbanded in 2001.

My favorite part of the story. :clap::clap::clap:

Please God, just don't let them put us on the cover....EVER.

Spurs were once NASL Champions.

This.

And yet, they still click on the link and post. ROFL

I can't stand NASCAR but I am not clicking on the links to post that myself or no one else gives a shit about it.

Or you could just recognize the difference between an article ABOUT the Sporting and the Sporting itself.

That might help.
