If NFL Europe had begun to fail after a few years they would have probably tinkered a lot more with names and come up with a team a lot like the Cowboys or Giants. <BR/><BR/>MLS has gotten the short end of the stick for 10 years now as Europhiles look down on the league (Interestingly, while most Europhiles I know are fans of the USMNT, they don't seem to appreciate what MLS has done to make the USMNT better. Funny, that. But that's a story for another day.) If RSL and Colorado can tie themselves with another league in an effort to get MLS into the black, more power to them. <BR/><BR/>When I go to games, it's for my team (Quick shout out to the Fire), not because they're associated with a Mexican club team (And a shout out to Morelia, hey!), not because they've got some flashy European running around the field, but because they're my team. <BR/><BR/>I've been to the things like DCU-Chelsea games and while there was a lot of blue, the Black and Red was in fine force that weekend. MLS has great fans, who will stand by their team. If sacrifices must be made at this time in order to avoid the fate of the NASL you will find that most fans are willing to take the longer view. If Arsenal-Colorado falls apart in ten years and Colorado has 30,000 rabid fans of its own out of the deal, I would consider that a big win.<BR/><BR/>I spoke to an Arsenal fan who is a DCU ticket holder, there's no question in his mind who his team is in MLS. If the Rapids have a deal, good for them, but he's not swayed to leave the fold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26314872.post-1907948308510477082007-02-08T10:21:00.000-05:002007-02-08T10:21:00.000-05:00Not to follow the same vien as everyone else, but ...Not to follow the same vien as everyone else, but DC United are not anything like the rest. If Colorado is rebranded as arsenal, a United vs. Arsenal match, like the MLS season opener, will not have Redskins colors at it. DC United fans know what colors to wear to United matches, those colors are Red & Black.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665574330521035289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26314872.post-36444643091204869142007-02-05T13:49:00.000-05:002007-02-05T13:49:00.000-05:00I'm not calling DC United poseurs per se, it's jus...I'm not calling DC United poseurs per se, it's just that the proliferation of other knockoff names in the league dilutes the value of DC United's brand. The more MLS teams follow the lead of Real Salt Lake and the horrid "Colorado Arsenal," the more DC United gets lumped in with the same group, which is a major problem for DC and the league.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814368676641113294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26314872.post-64888243860906579792007-02-05T13:45:00.000-05:002007-02-05T13:45:00.000-05:00There is such a proliferation of "United" in the w...There is such a proliferation of "United" in the world, that I think you're off base if you think DC United are poseurs. Not to mention, the club have had the spine to not tinker with the name, a la New York, Kansas City, Colorado, and Dallas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
