Yeah, he's got his own agenda. Which is what I am growing to hate. There are fractures emerging everywhere fans-players, fans-ownership, players-ownership, ownership-ownership. It doesn't bode well. All the necessary stakeholders are at odds with each other. The only way people are happy are if you have a Man city/Madrid/Barca situation.

Out of curiousity, why is it Arsenal get raided for players? Sure, Wenger signs good, young talent but so does United. So does Bayern. So do the Italian clubs. Do Bayern just pay more? Is there little interest in Italian players outside of Italy?

RFK is exactly the kind of dump I can't wait to talk fondly about once we're out of there.

my game day experience is still AWESOME when i go to a United game at RFK... i cannot same the same thing at all about Redskin's game day experiences at FEDEX.

give me RFK any day of the week ... ESPECIALLY for the size of crowds that go to United games (I can easilly see why it would no longer work for the skins, on the other hand)

I agree the game day experience is 100x better than that of FedEx, but that's completely a product of the DCU organization and its fans. The stadium itself is a dump and is far too large for regular use by an MLS team.

Have you been to any of the new MLS stadiums? Once you go you will never look at RFK the same. I love it for its character and history, and Lot 8 (which will never be replicated at a new location), but I can't wait to miss it.

Not a big deal. She isnt even getting suspended for it. She proved that it was an accident based on something that was prescribed to her by her doctor for something unrelated.

Good to hear

Go USA women

Alex Morgan and Hope Solo are local Seattle icons, so I am proud of them and wish them the best of luck in London
