I mean when your natural geographic rival sucks, you have to make lemonade. That why we in Chicago chose Dallas. I mean when your natural geographic rival sucks, you have to make lemonade.

RBNY needs to pick it up from a football quality and fan involvement standpoint to make it a rivalry. Getting there... DC not having a rivalry w/NY certainly isn’t for a lack of DCU fans trying.

They haven't messed up the name yet, and even if they name it Ms. Piggy instead of Gonzo I still think that the "Come And Take It" flags and such are what MLS is trying to foster with this. I don't really like the contrived rivalry part of this. But I would much rather have a league that was actively pushing fan involvement than one that was not, so I think it is okay. We just need to realize that there aren't really any true rivalries in MLS yet. That includes DC v. NY and LA v. CHV. I am glad you didn’t put this under belly flops just yet.

I'd think it would be Gonzo after the muppet that used to be shot out of a cannon. That seems more in line with MLS. Oh.

I'm not from Texas but I loved the story behind it. The reference to the “Come and Take It” flag is funny since I just order one online today to bring with me to Germany.
