[soccer] an interview with Eric Wynalda, pre-Ecuador, notable primarily for...

"Now what happens if Sunil Gulati gets off his ***** pedestal, calls Don Garber and says, “That’s it. We now mandate that nobody is allowed to name their team the Butterflies or Grasshoppers or the Little ***** Litterbugs or whatever they want to call them. And some kid in Idaho is now the Fire, he’s number 8. What’s the first question he asks his Dad? “Whose number 8 on the Fire?” How ***** hard is this to figure out? Why can’t we just take the Major League Baseball or NFL business model. NFL is the best, because they hit every home, and every game means something. Major League Baseball has hit every ***** household they could possibly hit, because they knew in the beginning if they took the hit, they provided the uniforms, and they say “welcome to the Astros”, then kids end up knowing who people like Terry Poole (sic) are. But these people don’t get it! They don’t get soccer."

I like Wynalda, he played in Germany for several years, he was a good player, and seemed like a good guy. It's still a mystery to me that soccer has not taken off more in the US. It's the best sport in the world - I think what soccer needs is a David Stern.
