En Sabah Nur Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 it's a little late in the season, but that means the playoffs are coming. who's your team? just like other Kansas City sports, we seem to do well against the good teams, and lose to the shitty ones... but it looks like we're in the playoffs. hopefully our defense can stop blowing goats so we'll have half a chance. I was hoping Eddie Johnson would win the Golden Boot but it's just not looking like that's going to happen. However, if we can beat the New York Energy Drinks in NJ saturday, it'll clinch a playoff berth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

En Sabah Nur Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 haha, i think we should start spelling it "WIZARDZ" and have laser light shows and shit. i mean lazer light showz. YeAh!! although, some of my friends refer to weed as "wizard"... so they don't mind the name. i actually hate the wizards' name as much as i support them. it took me until this year to realize they must have been going for a Wizard of Oz reference, which is supremely retarded, considering that Kansas City is in Missouri. not to mention that no one who lives in KC really gives too much thought to the Wizard of Oz happening anywhere near here. that shit was probably supposed to be out in western kansas or something where, you know, it's not a city. i think they should have kept with the royalty theme that we had here in our sports teams for a good while... Royals, Kings, Monarchs, Chiefs... and name them Pharaohs or Emperors or something. i heard if the Nashville Predators come to KC they might call them the Monarchs. i also heard the Sacramento Kings' arena contract is over and there's a small chance they'd come back here, though they're more likely to build a new arena or go to Las Vegas instead.

Reuben Kinkaid Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 How many people do the Wizards get a game? KC doesn't seem like the kind of place where soccer would thrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

En Sabah Nur Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 yeah we have the worst or second worst attendance in the league. they're planning on building a soccer-specific stadium in the next few years. arrowhead is gigantic. i think half the problem with attendance is their name and general approach to advertising to youth soccer instead of to adults.

Fist 666 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 true. i wish US soccer had a quarter the following the rest of the world has. however, i'm not going to be a part of the early wave... heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

En Sabah Nur Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 i don't know, that would be fine, except that i sort of think it's just as stupid to try to copy europe as it is to model things after other american leagues. which doesn't leave a lot of room for error. i'm okay with names like "united" but i'm not sure americans grasp the "FC/AC/CD/SC" thing, since in other countries, it's a lot more clear cut what sport you're talking about when you say "are you going to watch [city name]?" ...not to mention the word "football" and all that. it's a weird gray area, i guess. you definitely need to maintain adult fans for anyone to take it seriously, and pulling in american fans of the EPL and other leagues is smart... but i think i'm also on the side of being a little adventurous and finding out what differences will arise in the american interpretation of everything. chants based on rap songs, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

En Sabah Nur Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 it is dumb, but oh well, i'm sure there's spanish-speakers in salt lake city anyway. i never really decided who i like in the EPL. i feel like i'd have to go some place before i decide if i really want to support them. maybe not, i don't know.
